How the math works

District tax = (value / 100) × rate. BID = SF × per-SF rate. Total = sum.

$8.5M assessed × 0.30% = $25.5k district + 45k SF × $0.25 = $11.25k BID = $36.8k total. On tax bill separate from base property tax — budget accordingly.

How to Use

  1. Enter property assessed value.
  2. Enter district rate per $100.
  3. Enter BID rate per SF.
  4. Enter SF.
  5. Read total special district tax.

Urban BID: $0.10-0.40/SF/yr commercial. Suburban SAD: 0.5-2% of assessed value. CFD/Mello-Roos: 0.5-2% of assessed value for 20-30 years (bond repayment). Many CFDs on new development in West — material component of ownership cost.
