Sacramento County Property Taxes Fall

Taxes are based on assessed value as of January 1, 2007. Since market values have fallen, Proposition 8 requires the government to take falling values into consideration and drop taxes accordingly.

Most people that bought homes in 2005 and 2006 will see a reduction of about 5% to 10% off their property taxes.

This might mean that their monthly payments will go down and if they have an impound account, they might receive an unexpected check in the mail.
