Sacramento Property Tax Rate by ZIP Code

Across Sacramento County the ad-valorem property tax rate for most parcels runs about 1.0802% to 1.1981% of assessed value (the middle 80% of parcels), with a parcel-weighted median near 1.1387% — the 1% Proposition 13 base plus each area's voter-approved debt. Some newer communities run higher; see the highest/lowest ZIP list above. It varies by ZIP because voter-approved school and municipal bonds differ from area to area.

The 1% Proposition 13 base is the same everywhere, but each Tax Rate Area adds its own voter-approved bond debt (schools, cities, special districts). ZIP codes in areas with more approved bonds — and Sacramento's newer master-planned communities often carry more — have higher total rates. A single ZIP can span more than one Tax Rate Area, so the figure shown is a typical rate for that ZIP, not your parcel's exact rate.

Not by itself. Your tax is your assessed value (a Proposition 13 base-year value, usually tied to what you paid) times your parcel's Tax Rate Area rate, plus any Mello-Roos and fixed direct assessments. The ZIP rate here is a helpful area estimate; your bill depends on your assessed value and exact Tax Rate Area.

Across Elk Grove's ZIP codes together, a typical single-family home is assessed at about $463,000 for an existing owner, which at the city's 1.0802% rate is roughly $5,001 a year before any Mello-Roos — the per-ZIP rows above (95624, 95757, 95758) differ because home values differ by neighborhood. See the Elk Grove property tax page for the city figures.

No. These are ad-valorem rates only (the 1% base plus voter-approved debt). Mello-Roos / Community Facilities District special taxes — common in Elk Grove, North Natomas, Rancho Cordova, and Folsom — and fixed direct assessments are billed separately and can add hundreds to a few thousand dollars a year on some parcels.
