How Roseville Properties Are Assessed

The Placer County Assessor determines the taxable value of all Roseville properties each year. For most homes, assessed value equals the purchase price when you buy. After purchase, value can increase up to two percent annually under Proposition 13. This caps tax growth and protects homeowners.

New construction adds to assessed value. When you build an addition, finish rooms, or add structures, the Assessor increases your value. Building permits alert the county to changes. You receive a supplemental tax bill for the added value during the tax year.

Some transfers avoid reassessment. Parents can transfer a primary residence to children without triggering a new value if they file within three years. Grandparent to grandchild transfers also qualify in certain situations. These preserve the old assessed value.

Homeowners age 55 and over can transfer their base value to a new home. Buy within two years of selling your old home. The new home cannot cost more. File the claim within three years of purchase. This protects your tax rate when you downsize or move.

Community Facilities Districts in Roseville

Some Roseville neighborhoods have Community Facilities Districts or Mello-Roos assessments. These special taxes fund infrastructure like schools, parks, roads, and utilities. CFDs are common in newer developments. The assessment appears as a separate line on your property tax bill.

If your property is in a CFD, you pay both the regular property tax and the CFD assessment. The county collects both amounts. CFD rates vary by district. Some expire after a set period. Others continue until bonds are paid off. The assessment stays with the property when you sell.

Check your tax bill to see if you have a CFD assessment. Contact the Placer County Treasurer-Tax Collector at 530-889-4120 for information about active districts in Roseville.

Assessment Appeals Process

Roseville property owners can appeal their assessed value if they believe it is incorrect. File with the Placer County Assessment Appeals Board between July 2 and September 15. Some properties may qualify for a later deadline of November 30. Get the form from the County Assessor or the Clerk of the Board.

Include evidence with your appeal. Recent sales of comparable homes in Roseville work well. A professional appraisal strengthens your case. Photos showing damage or needed repairs help. The Board schedules a hearing. You present your evidence. The Assessor presents their valuation. The Board determines the correct value.

You can represent yourself at the hearing. Many property owners do not hire lawyers for appeals. If you win, your assessed value decreases and your tax bill drops. If you lose, the value stays the same. You can file a new appeal in future years.

The law allows the Board up to two years to resolve an appeal. You will get notice of your hearing at least 45 days in advance. Some counties charge fees for filing. Check with the Clerk about costs. The State Board of Equalization provides guidance at boe.ca.gov.
