I'm really familar with special assesment taxes (Mello Roos). Combined with the base tax rate we pay 1.75% - as do most of the newer communities in North County San Diego. Average increases in these communities are seeing 20% annual gains - higher than communties with no Mello Roos paying 1.1%. There's a new community going in next to Palomar Airport with a reported tax base to hit 2.0% - interest is very heavy. I expect to see tents and campers in the lots a couple nights before phase releases.
