How we verify facts

What do we know about Santa Clara County so far?

Published figures and state rules first, then the county topics. A county fact appears only after a person checks it against the official source; until then its topic shows as in research.

How we verify facts

What do Santa Clara County property taxes and assessments look like?

Figures from public records and the Census, each with its source. They describe the county's homes as a group, not the value of any one home.

The median owner-occupied home in Santa Clara County was worth $1,490,600, and the median property tax its owners paid was $10,000 or more a year, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.

Median home value

The Census Bureau publishes medians in the top bracket only as a floor.

at least 0.67%

Owner-occupied homes
363,147
Margin of error ±3,294.

These are survey estimates of what owners reported about their own homes. They are not assessed values, not tax rates, and not an opinion of what any home is worth.

They cannot tell you whether your own assessment is fair. That takes a comparison with similar homes, which we offer only in counties we have researched.
