Frequently Asked Questions
What is the property tax rate in Shasta County by ZIP code?
Across Shasta County the ad-valorem property tax rate for most ZIPs runs about 1.0368% to 1.1203% of assessed value, with a median near 1.0655% — the 1% Proposition 13 base plus each area's voter-approved debt. Shasta's total rates are relatively low; it's highest in ZIP 96019 (Shasta Lake City) at 1.1203% and lowest in 96025 (Dunsmuir) at 1%.
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 — school districts, the Sierra Joint Community College District, and city, water, or special-district bonds. ZIP codes in areas with more approved bonds 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.
Do these rates include Mello-Roos (CFD) charges?
No. These are ad-valorem rates only (the 1% base plus voter-approved bond debt). Some developments carry Community Facilities District / Mello-Roos special taxes, but those special taxes and fixed direct assessments are billed separately — often several hundred to a few thousand dollars a year on top of the rate shown. If a bill looks higher than the rate here implies, the difference is usually CFD/direct charges or fixed assessments.
Why is there no typical home value shown?
Shasta County's public parcel extract publishes the Tax Rate Area for each parcel but not its assessed value, so we show the ad-valorem rate and let you enter your own value. Every rate figure is exact from the Auditor-Controller's schedule.

Educational estimates only, not official bills. Rates are ad-valorem only (excluding Mello-Roos, parcel taxes, and fixed direct assessments) and are typical for the ZIP, not your parcel's exact Tax Rate Area. Typical value is the median assessed value (land + improvements, gross of exemptions) across all property types in the ZIP.
