Which Homes Have Mello-Roos?
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008House hunters often ask me to find the houses with NO Mello-Roos taxes or HOA. There are no lists kept by the county, no map of neighborhoods free from extra taxes and home owner’s associations. Here’s the next best thing:
Go to this www.RiversideTaxInfo.com. Click on “Property Tax Payment Info”. Click “Online Info & Payment System”. Click “Continue to Online Payment”. Enter the APN (assessment number) or address. This takes you to “Secured Assessments” and lists the tax installments with due dates. Then click “View Tax Info”. This takes you to the “Property Tax Details” page with a complete breakdown of special assessments.
In general, newer Riverside County neighborhoods have Mello-Roos to help pay for the new streets, schools, parks, etc. However, there are exceptions and some older neighborhoods do have special assessments while many do not. Check out the county’s website and you’ll know for sure.
