How these numbers are made
  • Property tax: 1% Prop 13 levy plus the rest of tax rate area 02000's 2025-26 total (1.05331 percent) as school/college debt; the book's school table rows do not add to that total, so the parts are shown combined.
  • Sewer: $55.48 a month for a Single Family Unit in fiscal 2026-27 times 12, on the tax roll. The storm drain line is the County's published total divided by parcels, an average, not each home's exact bill.
  • Water: California American Water SOU-1 total per-100-gallon rates (base plus purchased water) times 10 per 1,000 gallons; service charge $25.95. Not modelled: Cal Am's separate surcharge schedules (for example Schedule UF, a percentage surcharge on all Cal Am bills) and any San Diego surcredits; their Coronado amounts were not found.
  • Garbage: City rate schedule effective 7/1/25 ($31.11); a 2026-27 schedule was not found.
  • Electricity and gas: SDG&E bundled averages (400 kWh, 24 therms), the same method as nearby SDG&E cities; the electric fixed charge is the 8/1/2026 TOU-DR1 base services charge ($0.79343 a day), the $194 total is SDG&E's April 2026 rate-alert average. Insurance: California statewide 2022 average, not Coronado-specific; no newer official figure was found. The County's 2025-26 special-assessment list shows only Coronado sewer and storm drain charges, no school parcel tax.
  • Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.

Questions to ask your candidates

Each one starts from a number above. Any candidate can answer them.

1. Property tax rate

The fact: Coronado's property tax rate is 1.05%, lower than 262 of the other 284 California cities we cover. The rate adds up every agency on the bill, not only the city.

Ask: "Property tax in Coronado is 1.05%, lower than 262 of the other 284 California cities we cover. What should that money pay for first, and would you change anything about how it is set?"

2. Trash

The fact: Trash pickup here costs about $373 a year for the standard cart, lower than 205 of the other 267 California cities we cover. Where trash is billed through the tax bill or a separate hauler, it is not counted here.

Ask: "Trash pickup here costs about $373 a year for the standard cart, lower than 205 of the other 267 California cities we cover. What drives that cost, and would you change anything about the service or the price?"
