If you live in a new development area, you may be paying a Mello-Roos tax..
This tax is in addition to your property taxes.
.
Unlike your property taxes, a Mello-Roos tax has an end date. That's because these types of taxes go towards paying for something specific.
.
For example, your community may want to build its first school. A Mello-Roos tax is how everyone would pay for it. But once the school is built, that tax is over.
.
When selling, you have to disclose to your home buyer that your property has a Mello-Roos tax and what the terms of that tax are.
