Buying a Home in San Diego FAQ

FAQ - How much are property taxes in San Diego County?

Posted by Justin Gramm 10/28/2022

How Much Are Property Taxes in San Diego County? 


Your total San Diego property tax bill is a combination of your  Property's Assessed Value  (PAV)  MULTIPLIED  by the  Local Tax Rate  (LTR),  PLUS  any  Special Assessments  (SA)  for that area.


Or for the mathematicians out there:

( PAV  X  LTR )  +  SA  =  Your Total San Diego Property Tax Bill


As a result, every area of San Diego is DIFFERENT when it comes to property tax rates. Not only do the local tax rates differ throughout the county...


But some areas are also subject to more special assessments and Mello-Roos taxes than others.


Depending on where you live in San Diego County, your total property tax bill can range from about 1.0% to 2% of the assessed value of the home.

What Does "Assessed Value" Mean for San Diego Property Taxes?


When you buy a home in San Diego County, the County Assessor will actually place a value on your property for tax purposes. This is called your Assessed Value.


It is NOT required that the assessed value be the same as the purchase price, but that is often the case.


Many San Diego communities, such as San Elijo Hills, Carmel Valley, Eastlake, etc. have Mello-Roos or other special assessments that add to your total property tax bill.
