How This Calculator Works
California's average effective property tax rate is 0.71% of a home's value each year, the 16th highest of 51, in the top third. On the state's typical home, worth about $785,000, that comes to roughly $5,574 a year, or $464 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: California's bill on a typical home is the 8th largest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). On a $350,000 home it would be about $2,485.
Of California's neighbors, Nevada (0.49%) and Arizona (0.56%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
These are California averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
