In San Diego County, a purchase near $2.56M would carry roughly $29,483 a year in property tax at about 1.15%, or $2,457 a month, before any special taxes.

Set by Proposition 13 at 1% of assessed value.
Varies by address. The county tax bill lists the exact charges.
Common in newer communities. Ask for the exact amount.
California’s exemption reduces the assessed value of a home you live in by $7,000. Use 0 for a second home or rental.
