Adjust to match your bills

What you knowTrash cartThe price is set by the size of your grey garbage cart and includes the 96-gallon green and blue carts.

Value before exemptionsMany newer Dixon subdivisions are in a City Community Facilities District (for example Valley Glen, Parklane, Homestead) whose special taxes are added to the property tax bill each year, and those are not included here. The City's citywide services district (CFD 2024-1) set a 2024-25 base of $770 a year per single-family home, growing 4% a year; the City's page gives no dollar amounts for the Valley Glen, Parklane or Homestead districts, so check your own bill.

How these numbers are made

Garbage: Recology Dixon's rates for customers inside Dixon city limits (table headed effective 10/1/26): $33.89 for a 32-gallon grey cart and $38.30 for a 96-gallon grey cart, each with 96-gallon green and blue carts. We read these as monthly prices.
Water: City of Dixon single-family rates effective 7/1/2026, a $33.03 monthly meter fee (3/4-inch) plus per-unit tiers; we treat a unit as one CCF and the tiers as monthly, as the City's water rate report prices in ccf. The City serves the majority of customers; California Water Service Co. serves the rest (EPA lists it as CA4810002) and has different rates.
Sewer: the City's published table (effective 4/1/17) is a stepped monthly rate by 4-month average water use; we model the 6-6.99 CCF band ($45.91). Your own band depends on your December-March water use.
Property tax: 1% plus Dixon USD bonds (0.018084 + 0.009483 + 0.034714 per $100), Solano Community College bonds (nine series summed) and the Solano County Water Agency State Water Project rate (0.02 per $100), all from the Solano County FY 2026-27 'Dixon Tax Rates' sheet for tax rate area 2000 (total 1.107488). City Community Facilities District special taxes apply to some subdivisions only; the City publishes dollar amounts only for the citywide services district.
Energy: PG&E E-1 (June 1, 2026) and G-1 (October 1, 2026) rates with the baseline allowance of Solano County territory S, as in the neighbouring Vacaville record; usage from EIA averages. Insurance is the California statewide HO-3 average for 2022 (the latest state figure the Insurance Information Institute page shows), not a Dixon figure; premiums have likely risen since.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
