Frequently Asked Questions
What is the property tax rate in Sacramento by ZIP code?
Across Sacramento County the ad-valorem property tax rate for most ZIPs runs about 1.0457% to 1.2042% of assessed value (the middle 80% of ZIPs), with a median near 1.1454% — 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.
Why does the property tax rate differ by ZIP code?
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.
Does my ZIP code determine my property tax?
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.
Are Mello-Roos and special assessments included in these rates?
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.
