Sacramento County
Sacramento County
Sacramento County is California's capital region, home to roughly 1.6 million residents and an economy anchored by state government, healthcare (UC Davis Health, Sutter, Kaiser), and growing tech and life-sciences clusters. The county seat and largest city is Sacramento, with significant suburban growth in Elk Grove, Folsom, and Citrus Heights. The region has emerged as one of the strongest secondary markets in California for both residential and commercial real estate.
Property in Sacramento
What every owner, heir, and investor should know.
Owning a home in Sacramento.
Sacramento homeowners benefit from comparatively affordable prices versus the Bay Area, robust job stability tied to state government, and growing employer diversification. The Assessor administers Prop 13 base-year values, exclusions for parent-child and senior transfers under Prop 19, and the standard homeowners' exemption. Annual tax bills are mailed by the Tax Collector in late October.
Investing in Sacramento.
Sacramento is a leading Northern California market for value-add multifamily, build-to-rent, and infill development. Cap rates compare favorably to the Bay Area and rents have grown materially over the past decade. Investors should review the City of Sacramento's tenant protection ordinance and just-cause rules, plus county-level inclusionary requirements where applicable.
After a Sacramento foreclosure or tax deed sale.
Non-judicial trustee sales are commonly held at the Gordon D. Schaber Sacramento County Courthouse or the location specified in the Notice of Trustee Sale. The Tax Collector conducts an annual online tax-defaulted property auction through Bid4Assets, typically each spring. Many tax-sale parcels in Sacramento County are infill lots requiring lien research and zoning verification.
Courts and records in Sacramento.
The Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento operates from the Schaber Courthouse plus the William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Courthouse and the Carol Miller Justice Center.
