Sales Tax in Los Padres, CA
While the State of California only charges a 6% sales tax, there's also a state mandated 1.25% local rate, bringing the minimum sales tax rate in the
state up to 7.25%.
As you would imagine, with a combined city/county sales tax rate of 1.25%, Los Padres
comes in on the low end for sales taxes in California. In fact, there are 1314 cities (out of 1782)
that charge a higher rate on items sold with their borders.
Property Tax in San Luis Obispo County
As California property tax rates go, San Luis Obispo County is on the low end at only 1.04%. There are
47 counties in the state with higher property taxes and only 10
counties that have lower rates.
Note that 1.04% is an effective tax rate estimate. Actual property tax rates vary slightly from property to property within cities and
counties due to special property tax boundaries.
California has one of the lowest property tax rates in the country, thanks primarily to Proposition 13, a 1978 amendment to California's Constitution.
Proposition 13 limits property taxes (which are determined by local governments) to at most 1% of the property's cash value. In addition, annual increases due
to property value appreciation are limited to 2% per year. A property's value can only be reassessed for tax purposes if the property changes owners or if there
is construction done to the property.
Despite the 1% ad valorem tax limit, almost all effective property tax rates in California actually end up exceeding 1%. How can that happen? Proposition 13 allows
local governments to charge additional fixed amount special assessments. Those special assessments can be earmarked for anything from funding schools to mosquito abatement.
Local governments are also allowed to sell taxpayer approved bonds, which are repaid by additional property taxes not subject to the 1% limit.
Income Tax in California
California is one of 36 states that don't have any local (city or county level) income taxes. It does, however, have the highest top tax bracket in
the country of 13.3% on income over $1 million, as well as a pretty high effective rate for middle class workers.
