The 1.15% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for San Jose 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 San Jose buyers. Many San Jose properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $500/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
