Sacramento housing market
The 1.05% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Sacramento and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide California average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Sacramento buyers. Many Sacramento properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $200/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
