The following example is a single family home with a homeowner’s exemption:

Property Value	$375,000
Homeowner's Exemption	($7,000)
Net Assessed Value	$368,000
Applicable Tax Rate*	$1.18600 (per $100 assessed value)
Tax Due = $368,000 x .01186 ($1.186 divided by 100)	$4,364.48
Add special taxes or assessments (Example is a fire charge - varies by district)	$120.00
Net Tax Due	$4,484.48

*Applicable Tax Rate

The applicable tax rate will vary by the location of the property, primarily what school district the property is in. The basic tax rate is 1%. In addition to the 1% any voter approved debt is included in the rate. These would be school and/or municipal bonds.

For example, the basic tax rate in the Ukiah Valley for 2024-25 is $1.186. This rate is broken down as follows:

$1.000                Countywide 1%
    .165    Ukiah Unified Bond
    .021                Mendocino College Bond
$1.186                Total Rate
