How the numbers work
- Principal and interest uses the standard fixed-rate amortization formula.
- Los Angeles County transfer tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of value (0.11%), collected when the deed is recorded.
- City of Los Angeles adds a 0.45% base transfer tax. Measure ULA adds 4% on sales above $5,400,000 and 5.5% at $10,900,000 or more, on the full price, for sales closing July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. More on ULA.
- Property tax: Proposition 13 limits the general levy to 1% of assessed value. Voter-approved bonds and special assessments, such as Mello-Roos, are added on top and vary by address.
Not sure whether an address is inside the City of Los Angeles? Look it up on ZIMAS, or see which areas pay Measure ULA.
