Property taxes in Tulare 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; Visalia's specific TRA override was not reachable in the county's current tax rate booklet, so this figure excludes any local bond add-on. Owners who want to sell commercial property in Visalia, CA also pay a documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, or $2,200 on $2,000,000; Visalia Municipal Code Section 3.20.020 sets the city's own half-rate tax of $0.55 per $1,000, credited under Revenue and Taxation Code 11911 against the county tax, so the combined total stays $2,200, split between city and county.
Landlord rules that affect Visalia apartments
California's security deposit cap is one month's rent, up to two months for small owners, with refunds due within 21 days under Civil Code 1950.5. Owners end a month-to-month tenancy on 60 days' notice, or 30 days if the tenant has lived there less than a year, under Civil Code 1946.1. After 12 months a tenant gains just-cause protection, and the statewide rent cap of 5% plus inflation or 10%, whichever is lower, applies under Civil Code 1946.2 and Civil Code 1947.12. Anyone who wants to sell commercial real estate in Visalia, CA should check a tenant's move-in date first.

Visalia Seller FAQ
What is the average rent in Visalia, CA?
Census ACS 2020-2024 estimates put Visalia's median gross rent at $1,490 a month, above Tulare County's $1,280. HUD's FY2027 Fair Market Rents for the Visalia MSA are $1,108 for a one-bedroom and $1,450 for a two-bedroom, so the city median sits above both unit-level figures.
What does it take to sell commercial real estate in Visalia, CA?
Expect a documentary transfer tax totaling $1.10 per $1,000, or $2,200 on a $2,000,000 sale, split between Tulare County and the city under a credit set by state law. Under Proposition 13, the sale also resets the buyer's future assessed value to market value.
Does Visalia cap rent increases for apartments?
Yes, under the statewide Tenant Protection Act. Civil Code 1947.12 caps most annual increases at 5% plus inflation or 10%, whichever is lower, once a tenant has stayed 12 months, with exemptions for newer certificates of occupancy. No stricter Visalia-specific ordinance was found.
What taxes apply when an apartment building sells in Visalia?
A sale carries a documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, or $2,200 on a $2,000,000 deal, half credited to the City of Visalia under its own ordinance and half net to Tulare County. California's 1% base property tax rate then applies to the reset assessed value.
What share of Visalia residents rent their home?
Renters occupy 38.9% of Visalia's occupied homes, or 18,328 households, per Census ACS 2020-2024 estimates, below Tulare County's 41.5% and California's 44.1%. Only 6.7% of the city's housing is in buildings of 5 or more units, about 3,287 homes.
