How it works
San Francisco secured property tax is calculated by applying the published secured property tax rate to the property’s assessed value. The assessed value is determined by the Assessor-Recorder under California assessment rules. This calculator multiplies the assessed value by the secured property tax rate to estimate annual property tax.
Examples
San Francisco property tax is calculated from the assessed value entered on the secured roll for the applicable fiscal year. For instance, if the roll value is 880,000, the 1 percent constitutional levy would produce 8,800 before bonded debt components are included. Supplemental assessments may apply if valuation changes occur after the initial roll is established.
Limitations and important notes
This tool provides an estimated property tax and does not replicate an official tax bill. Actual tax amounts depend on the assessed value assigned to the parcel and may include parcel-specific direct assessments or other legally authorized charges. Exemptions, such as the homeowners’ exemption or disabled veterans’ exemption, are not automatically applied in this estimate. Always confirm details with the appropriate local tax authority.
