Property taxes in Orange County
California's base property tax rate is 1% of assessed value plus voter-approved debt, per the State Board of Equalization. Fullerton School District carries a bond override of 3 cents per $100 of assessed value, per Orange County's Fullerton SD tax rate statement, for a verified combined rate near 1.03%, or about $20,600 on a $2,000,000 assessed value.
A sale also carries California's documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, or $2,200 on $2,000,000, under Revenue and Taxation Code 11911. Fullerton is a general law city, not a charter city, and its municipal code's Chapter 21.08 adopts that same state tax, no extra city rate, unlike charter cities such as Pomona.

Fullerton Seller FAQ
How do I sell commercial property in Fullerton, CA?
Start by comparing your rent roll with Fullerton's ACS 2020-2024 median rent of $2,194 a month. Skyline Capital Investments buys apartment buildings with 5 or more units, a category covering about 14,868 Fullerton homes, or 29.5% of the city's housing stock.
What does it take to sell commercial real estate in Fullerton, CA?
Expect California's documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, or $2,200 on a $2,000,000 sale, plus a combined property tax rate near 1.03% once Fullerton School District's bond override is added to the state's 1% base.
What should I know before selling commercial property in Fullerton?
Fullerton is a general law city, so no added city transfer tax stacks on the standard county rate, unlike some charter cities. Review the statewide rent cap under Civil Code 1947.12 before pricing a 5-plus-unit building.
What is the average rent in Fullerton, CA?
Fullerton's median gross rent is $2,194 a month under ACS 2020-2024, below Orange County's $2,434 countywide figure. Still, 58.8% of Fullerton renters pay 30% or more of income on rent, above the county's 54.0% share.
Does Fullerton cap rent increases for apartments?
Yes, under the statewide cap. California's Civil Code 1947.12 limits most annual increases to 5% plus inflation, or 10% total, whichever is lower, for buildings older than 15 years, with no stricter local Fullerton ordinance found.
Do I need to fix up my Fullerton building before selling?
No. We price in deferred maintenance, vacancy, and below-market rents ourselves, so you can sell the property as it stands.
Do you work with Fullerton brokers and agents?
We do. Agents can bring us listed or pocket-listing deals in Fullerton, and we keep every conversation confidential.
Is it possible to sell rental property in Fullerton without evicting tenants?
It is. We buy apartment buildings occupied, and tenants stay on their current leases. Skyline Capital Investments is a commercial real estate buyer of 5+ unit buildings, so occupied properties are the norm for us.
What do I need to sell my apartment building in Fullerton?
An address and unit count are enough to start. A current rent roll and trailing twelve-month statement let us move to a written offer faster.
