Placer County Property Tax

Since we are taxed at a rate of up to 1.25% on the total assessed value of our properties, this basically means that for every $10,000 of assessed value you are paying roughly $100. Thus if you purchase a house for $300,000 and the value is $300,000, you will pay roughly $3,000 in property tax per year.

Imagine the following:

Assessed Value $25,000 too high = you overpay by $250 per year

Assessed Value $50,000 too high = you overpay by $500 per year 

Assessed Value $100,000 too high = you overpay by $1,000 per year

Assessed Value $150,000 too high = you overpay by $1,500 per year

Assessed Value $200,000 too high = you overpay by $2,000 per year

As I stated in a previous post, my primary residence is currently assesed $35,000 too high and so I am scheduled to pay an additional $350 per year beyond what I should rightfully pay the Assessor. That doesn’t sit well with me. But there are home owners facing much more drastic situations where if they appeal their property taxes, they have a potential to save as much as $500-$1,000+.
