Property tax in Orangevale, in context
Orangevale's residential roll of roughly 10,700 parcels is about 95% single-family homes, 2% condominiums and 3% small income properties (2–4 units). A typical single-family home is assessed at about $380,000 — an existing owner's Proposition 13 base-year value, not today's market price — for a typical annual tax near $4,512. About 25% of single-family homes still carry a Proposition 13 base set before 2000 (a median base year near 2013), so long-time owners are assessed well below current prices.
Across Orangevale's Tax Rate Areas the ad-valorem rate is uniform at about 1.1873% — 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.
