How these numbers are made
- Water: City of Farmersville Payment & Fees page: $27.32 base rate for 1,500 cubic feet (15 ccf) a month, then $0.93 per 100 cubic feet. We read the base as covering the first 15 ccf, as its label states the 1,500 cubic feet it is priced for; the page does not say so in words.
- Sewer $56.61 and refuse $25.05 a month from the city's Payment & Fees and Utility Billing pages, which are the city's current published rates (no effective date shown). The city's 2021 Prop 218 notice proposed single-family refuse stepping $23.85 (7/1/2021), $25.05 (7/1/2022), $26.30 (7/1/2023), $27.35 (7/1/2024) and $28.44 (7/1/2025); the city's Prop 218 page does not state the hearing outcome and no adopted later rate, resolution or fee schedule is published, so the billing pages' $25.05 is used.
- Property tax: Tulare County 2026-27 rate book, tax rate area 008-000 (Farmersville), 1.1133% in all. Other Farmersville areas run from 1.014918% to 1.128218% (some add the Kaweah Delta Hospital 2004 bond, 0.014918%). The value is the Census median market value; Prop 13 assessed values are often lower. Parcel-specific direct charges are not in the rate book and vary.
- Electricity: SCE Tiered Rate Plan as of 10/1/26 with the $0.79 daily Base Services Charge; typical use is SCE's average residential sales from EIA. The 384 kWh Tier 1 limit depends on the baseline region. Gas: SoCalGas typical Non-CARE bill of $68.91 for 35 therms a month, August 2026. Insurance: California average, 2022.
