State Income Tax<\/strong>

Standard deductions, credits, personal and dependent exemptions, and other factors will affect the taxable income. For complete details on personal income tax in California, contact:<\/p>\n

Sales & Use Tax<\/strong>
\nIn California, sales and use taxes vary slightly by county and may also fluctuate with voter-approved taxes for special funding projects. The total state tax rate is 7.50 percent. For the exact rate in your community, contact your city or county offices. Items that are exempt from retail sales tax include groceries, prescribed medication, newspapers, periodicals and public utilities. Sales tax is paid by the consumer on the retail level, but use taxes are paid directly to the state. Use taxes pertain to merchandise such as catalog orders or Internet orders when no California sales tax has been collected but the item(s) are used in California. For complete details on sales and use taxes, contact:<\/p>\n

Property Taxes<\/strong>
\nProperty taxes are paid on the local level, creating a major revenue stream for local governments as they provide services to residents. The process begins with cities and counties providing copies of all building permits that are issued, and the county clerk-recorder supplying copies of all deeds and recorded documents. The county assessor then assesses all real estate and personal property such as businesses, manufactured homes, boats, and airplanes that are located in the entire county. The controller-treasurer receives these assessments and applies the appropriate tax rate to determine the actual amount of property tax due. The tax collector then mails out property tax bills, collects the money, and deposits this revenue in the county treasury. The controller-treasure then allocates the revenue to local taxing agencies, including the county, cities, schools, and special districts. For complete information on property taxes, the Homeowner’s Exemption, and the exact rate in your jurisdiction, contact:<\/p>\n

State Residency Requirements<\/strong>
\nCalifornia imposes no formalized residency procedure beyond physical presence within the state and the intention of making it your home. Colleges, universities and other institutions have developed and implement their own residency requirements and procedures. Common residency criteria include voting in a California election, paying resident tuition, filing for home owner\u2019s property tax exemption, or any other privilege or benefit not ordinarily extended to nonresidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
