Property tax calculator

Search for a city or pick one on the map, then change the price, rate or fixed assessments to estimate a first-year bill. It uses the same math as Mortgage Blueprint's tax breakdown.

Fixed assessments are the Mello-Roos, parcel taxes and special assessments on the property's tax bill. We start with an estimate of $1,500 a year. They vary by parcel, so check the actual bill.

Your true tax rate counts the whole bill, not just the city rate. On a newly purchased home: ($11,178.20 at the city rate + $1,500.00 in fixed assessments) ÷ $1,000,000 purchase price.

Your property tax bill

The Sonoma County Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector posts Sonoma County secured tax bills online: look up or pay a property tax bill. You'll usually need the parcel number (APN).

California secured property tax is billed in two installments: the first is due November 1 and late after December 10; the second is due February 1 and late after April 10. A 10% penalty applies to a late installment.

A bill adds fixed charges to the rate: parcel taxes, Mello-Roos (Community Facilities District) taxes and special assessments such as sewer, flood control or lighting. Those vary by parcel and are not in the rates above. Your true tax rate is the two together, the tax at the city rate plus fixed assessments, divided by the purchase price on a newly purchased home.
