California property tax often starts with the 1% base rate, but your bill may also include voter-approved debt, parcel taxes, bonds, special assessments, Mello-Roos, or other local charges.

California Homeowners’ Exemption is commonly a $7,000 assessed value reduction for eligible owner-occupied homes.
Use 1.00 for base estimate only, or enter your county’s approximate total rate if known.
Optional: add annual fixed charges from your tax bill.
