Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts add to the tax bill in newer developments — typically $200-$600/year. They're more common in newer Ventura County developments (Big Sky, Long Canyon, Wood Ranch sub-areas). Check the property tax bill of any specific home to see whether Mello-Roos applies.
No. Property tax is calculated on the assessed value (purchase price for new owners under Prop 13). It's independent of your loan structure. The same home costs the same in property tax whether you pay all-cash or finance 80%.
