Property taxes in Orange County
California's base property tax rate is 1% of assessed value, or $20,000 on a $2,000,000 assessed value, per the State Board of Equalization. Local voter-approved debt adds more, but Orange's own tax-rate-area total was not available this cycle, so sellers who sell commercial real estate in Orange, CA should confirm the add-on with the county assessor.
A sale also carries California's $1.10 per $1,000 transfer tax, or $2,200 on $2,000,000, under Revenue and Taxation Code 11911. Half, $0.55 per $1,000, is Orange's own city tax under Municipal Code Chapter 3.04, credited against the county's share under Code 11931. Anyone set to sell commercial real estate in Orange, CA still pays $2,200 total, split city and county, not twice.
