How these numbers are made

Property tax: 1% general levy plus the FY 2026-27 Morongo Unified School and Copper Mountain Community College bond rates from San Bernardino County's rate table, on the assessed value minus the $7,000 homeowners' exemption.
Water: Hi-Desert Water District residential rates effective July 1, 2026; sewer is on the tax bill only where connected, so it is not included for a typical house.
Electricity: SCE TOU-D-4 total per kWh and 659 kWh from SCE's published comparison for Baseline Region 14 (it names Apple Valley, not Yucca Valley), plus the $24.15 base services charge. Yucca Valley's own baseline region was not confirmed, so this is a proxy for a nearby high-desert town.
Not included: trash (on the tax bill; the 2026-27 amount was not found in a primary source) and gas (no piped gas utility confirmed; homes may use propane or electric). The sewer fee shown applies only to connected homes; the sewer page may list a proposed surcharge not yet approved. Water uses 9 ccf a month as the page's own default, not a district-stated typical.
Modelling: Prop 13 assessed-value basis, and the TOU-D-4 / Baseline Region 14 (Apple Valley) proxy, are our own assumptions, not stated in the quoted sources.
Property tax is modelled on the home's taxable value (assessed value under Prop 13); the Census median value is only the typical starting point.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.

Cities bill differently (some put trash on the tax bill, some cover more services), so a higher number isn't necessarily worse. The property tax rate is compared instead of dollars because house values differ.
