Property tax in Walnut Grove, in context
Walnut Grove's residential roll of roughly 400 parcels is about 100% single-family homes. A typical single-family home is assessed at about $341,000 — an existing owner's Proposition 13 base-year value, not today's market price — for a typical annual tax near $3,792. About 18% 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.
Walnut Grove spans several Tax Rate Areas, so the ad-valorem rate ranges from about 1.0596% to 1.1121% depending on which voter-approved bonds apply to a parcel, all on top of the 1% Proposition 13 base. 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.
