Property tax in Folsom, in context
On the latest assessment roll, Folsom's taxable property totaled about $21.9 billion — up 6.2% from the prior year. Its residential roll of roughly 26,800 parcels is about 94% single-family homes, 4% condominiums and 2% small income properties (2–4 units). A typical single-family home is assessed at about $612,000 — an existing owner's Proposition 13 base-year value, not today's market price — for a typical annual tax near $6,675. About 13% of single-family homes still carry a Proposition 13 base set before 2000 (a median base year near 2017), so long-time owners are assessed well below current prices.
Folsom spans several Tax Rate Areas, so the ad-valorem rate ranges from about 1.0907% to 1.2161% depending on which voter-approved bonds apply to a parcel, all on top of the 1% Proposition 13 base. Folsom is one of Sacramento County's Mello-Roos areas: 34 Community Facilities Districts are billed on the current secured roll here. That special tax is billed on top of the ad-valorem rate, is not based on your home's value, and applies only to parcels inside a district — so check your bill.
