Dublin property tax: where it goes
A Dublin house pays 1.238% of its taxable value in property tax, plus flat charges on the same bill. For a house at $1,317,100 of market value with the homeowners' exemption, that's about $16,300 a year.
Tax is levied on assessed value less exemptions (Prop 13): the 1% countywide tax plus the other rates listed for tax rate area 26-001.
Alameda County adopted its 2026-27 rates in September 2026, but the copy online is a scanned image our checker cannot read. The 2025-26 rate book is used; Livermore Valley Joint Unified, Chabot-Las Positas and the county GO bond rates change by a few hundredths of a percent a year.

Ways to pay less
- Homeowners' exemption: if you own and live in your home on January 1. If you own and occupy your home as your principal place of residence on January 1 (lien date), you may be eligible for a Homeowners' Exemption. This exemption reduces the taxable value of your property by $7,000, resulting in a tax savings of approximately $70 to $80 per year. How: See the Alameda County Assessor's exemptions page.
- 100% disabled veterans: property tax exemption. The Disabled Veterans' Exemption reduces property tax on the principal residence of veterans rated 100% disabled because of a service-connected injury or disease (or paid at the 100% rate for unemployability). For the 2025-2026 assessment year the basic exemption amount is $175,298; a larger low-income exemption also exists. How: See the Alameda County Assessor's exemptions page.
