Property Tax Bills Across Lemon Cove, Tulare County, California

Property tax bills in Lemon Cove are based on the assessed value of a home, not what a buyer might pay on the open market. Local tax rates are applied to that assessed value, and the final bill can also reflect voter-approved levies and other local charges. For homeowners, this means two similar homes can have different tax bills if their assessed values differ.

In Lemon Cove, the median home price is $107,008, and the median property tax bill is $1,239. That figure is below the national median property tax bill of $2,400, which can make local taxes feel more manageable for many homeowners. Still, bills can vary widely: the 25th percentile is $781, while the 75th percentile is $1,707.
