How would I combine the base tax rate & Mello Roos for a total tax rate ?

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
<p>Mello Roos is a fixed amount and as such, it really can't be treated as a percentage of the home value. However, the following works to get a rough rate. </p>

<p>(current amount of taxes + mello roos) / property value</p>

<p>The only problem with this is that the rough rate will change as the property value changes. </p>
 
Total tax rate is more of an estimate. If you're buying new, the sales agents should be able to give you the base tax rate plus the dollar amount of the Mello-Roos. When we look at VoC, the Mello-Roos amounts were fixed dollars based on sq footage of the home with the dividing line around 2,500 sq ft. Under 2,500 you paid one amount, and if over 2,500, you paid a higher amount. If the sales agent can't get you the amount, then call the City. For VoC, I think it would be the Redevelopment Department. They will likely give you the number of the financial advisor for the bonds, who should have the breakdown.





For re-sale properties first occupied from June 2006 and back, check the OC Tax Collector's site and get the property tax detail.





Note that there are fees above and beyond the base tax and Mello-Roos on your property tax bill. There will be a Vector Control district charge (~$10), possibly a Metropolitan Water District charge (~$100), and perhaps some others.
 
<p>Just in case you don't have the link, here's the OC' s tax assessor site where you can get the actual dollar amount of the mello roos:</p>

Just look at the tax bill, both property tax and mello roose/bonds all go on the same bill anyway. Take the total annual property tax bill and calculate % against your property purchase price / currently assessed value.
