ZIP Code 92869

In ZIP code 92869, near Irvine, the median home value of $994,400 is steep, but the county's 0.66% effective property tax rate keeps the annual bill lower than many California homeowners might expect. With median household income at $138,204, that tax cost absorbs a workable share of earnings, though per-capita income of $60,989 shows a wide spread across households. Sales tax sits at 7.75% on purchases. High property values paired with a below-average rate create a distinctive dynamic: buyers here face substantial down payments, yet ongoing tax obligations stay tempered by the county rate.
