Mission Viejo and Ladera Ranch property taxes, association dues, and fees

Lake Mission Viejo

All residents of Mission Viejo are members of the Lake Mission Viejo Association and pay annual association dues to support use of the lake and the public beaches. All condominium, town home, and some detached home developments have an additional homeowners association (HOA) to pay for things like fire insurance, landscaping, common areas, and security. Mission Viejo is one of the older planned communities in the Valley, and as such, property taxes are very reasonable compared to many neighboring areas. Most tracts have no Mello Roos assessments.

Ladera Ranch property taxes do include a Mello Roos assessment, since the community is relatively new. The Ladera Ranch Mello-Roos districts were created to raise money by the sale of bonds, for the purpose of financing infrastructure improvements for that community such as water & sewer, new schools, streets, and parks. These bonds are not permanent, and usually have a life span of 15 to 25 years before they are paid off in full.

All homeowners in Ladera Ranch are members of LARMAC (Ladera Ranch Maintenance Corporation) and pay monthly dues to this association. Currently, the base assessment for master association dues at Ladera Ranch is $150 per month. This includes access to all recreational amenities including five Village Clubs, pools, parks, dog park, tennis courts, basketball courts, and all urban and natural trails running through and around Ladera Ranch. The base assessment also includes high-speed Internet access and access to LaderaLife, the online community Intranet, exclusive to Ladera Ranch residents.

Ladera Ranch taxes and fees do vary from home to home and village to village. Please feel free to call me for specific information on property tax, Mello Roos, fees, and association dues in Mission Viejo or Ladera Ranch.
