[quote=bearishgurl][quote=flu]Pull up your assessment, I’d be curious to see how things are broken down in your neck of the woods (removing the actual dollar amount if you so choose) or pick your neighbor house….[/quote]
I’d be a little hard-pressed to “pick” a neighbors house, flu. So many of them are protected by “Prop 13” and I would surmise their avg tax bills are $350-$800 annually :=[[/quote]
I did. The only difference between my tax bill and the home in Del Mar Mesa/Del Mar Meadows, is my home is in on a mountain with brush, so there is an extra $200/year assessment for brush management, which frankly is how much I would pay myself each year if I had to do it myself… I’m not cherry picking the least paying property tax areas in CarmelV and comparing them to the most paying property tax areas in other areas. I pulled a few houses in a few different areas, and they all came out to be the same. In some cases, CarmelV folks pay 1.07% with MR, because where they are situated, there isn’t brush and there isn’t other environment needs for some fixed assessments. But I considered those to be exceptions than the norm.
In some cases, because the fixed assessments are just that (flat rate), having a more expensive home, it ends up being a lesser percentage of your tax bill then having those special bond assessments elsewhere.
