In California, all properties are subject to a basic tax rate of 1% based on their assessed value. This value is set by the county assessor when the property is bought or newly built. For example, if your assessment is $500,000, the basic property tax you owe would be $5,000 annually.
How much is property tax on a $300000 house in California? The property tax on a $300,000 house in California would be approximately $2,310 per year. This is based on the average effective property tax rate of 0.77%.
The 15 counties with the highest median property tax payments all have bills exceeding $10,000: California: Marin County. New Jersey: Bergen, Essex, Hunterdon, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Union Counties.

Homeowner's Exemption If you own and occupy the property as your principal place of residence, you are eligible for a Homeowners' Exemption of $7,000 in assessed value for that property. The exemption will reduce the annual property tax bill by at least $70 each year.
You can't get ownership of property by just paying property taxes, but it's possible by purchasing tax deeds in California. Once you buy the tax deeds, it takes about 60 to 70 days for the county to transfer the deed to your name, making the property officially yours.
The California Constitution provides a $7,000 reduction in the taxable value for a qualifying owner-occupied home.
