Property taxes in Los Angeles County
California's base property tax rate is 1% of assessed value plus voter-approved debt, per the State Board of Equalization. On a $2,000,000 assessed value, the 1% base alone is $20,000; Pomona's specific tax rate area debt override was not reachable in the county's current online tax rate book, so this base figure excludes any local bond add-on. Owners who want to sell commercial property in Pomona, CA also pay Los Angeles County's documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, or $2,200 on $2,000,000, plus Pomona's own city transfer tax of $2.20 per $1,000, or $4,400 on $2,000,000, per the county Recorder's transfer tax page.
Landlord rules that affect Pomona apartments

A nonpayment notice gives three days, excluding weekends and judicial holidays, under Code of Civil Procedure 1161. Pomona's own Rent Stabilization and Eviction Control Ordinance caps most residential increases at 5% a year starting January 1, 2026, a stricter local limit than the statewide cap under Civil Code 1947.12, so anyone set to sell commercial real estate in Pomona, CA should check how that ordinance treats their building.
