The 81 single-family homes on Hood’s 2025 roll are assessed from about $55,000 (lower quarter) to $283,000 (upper quarter), with a median of $144,000. Because Proposition 13 sets the assessment when a home changes hands, the year a home was bought matters more than what it would sell for today.

Property tax in Hood, in context

Across Hood’s Tax Rate Areas the ad-valorem rate is uniform at about 1.1131% — the same 1% Proposition 13 base plus voter-approved school and municipal debt applies throughout. That figure is ad-valorem only: Mello-Roos (CFD) special taxes and fixed direct assessments, where a parcel is in a district that levies them, are billed separately — check your parcel's bill for line items beyond the base rate.
