Understanding California Property Taxes
How Property Tax Works in California
Under Proposition 13, California property taxes are based on 1% of your home's assessed value (the purchase price), plus any voter-approved bonds and assessments (typically adding 0.1% - 0.3%). The assessed value can only increase by a maximum of 2% per year, regardless of actual market value changes.
