Property Tax

The California Constitution mandates that all property is subject to taxation unless otherwise exempted by state or federal law. Proposition 13, enacted in 1978, forms the basis for the current property tax laws.

Market Value

Full cash value, also known as market value or fair market value, is the amount for which a property would sell in a competitive and open market, presuming that both buyer and seller are knowledgeable about the sale, allow sufficient time for it, and are not affected by undue pressures (e.g. foreclosures and bankruptcy).

Assessed Value

Property taxes are based on the assessed value of the property. Assessed values are calculated based on market values using a base year value and a predetermined ratio. This ratio is currently set to 100% for El Dorado County. The assessed value for most property taxed is the prior year's assessed value adjusted for inflation up to 2 percent. However, if there has been a change in ownership or completed new construction, the new assessed value will be the market value of the property as of the date that if changed ownership or was newly constructed.

Property Tax Property tax is calculated by multiplying the property's taxable value by the tax rates applicable to it. Taxable value represents the assessed value less any tax exemptions. Current tax represents the amount the present owner pays including exemptions. Base tax is an estimate of what an owner NOT benefiting from any exemptions would pay. Land tax is also levied in some tax areas. This is calculated by multiplying the land's value by the applicable land tax rate. Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs, or to non ad-valorem taxes levied as special taxes.
