The two special tax districts that cover much of Talega in San Clemente, what each one funds, when their bonds mature and how to find them on an Orange County tax bill.
Talega grew out of one large planned development, and much of it sits inside two community facilities districts, each adding a special tax line to the Orange County property tax bill. Here they are, with each district’s bond records linked on its card. Checked October 31, 2026. The tax bill and each district’s administrator have the final say.
Thinking about selling in Talega, or buying there? The Home Strategy Quiz takes about a minute, and Rudy answers it himself.
Take the Home Strategy QuizSearch by district name or the CFD number on the bill. Both cards link to the state’s bond records.

Neither Talega district matches that search. An Orange County bill names each CFD bond and the issuing agency's phone number.
Chula Vista districts are on the Chula Vista Mello-Roos lookup.
New San Diego County communities are on New-Home Mello-Roos.
| District | Where | Kind | Bonds' final maturity | Levy allowed through |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMWD CFD No. 99-1 | Talega | Bond-backed | September 1, 2038 | FY 2038-39 |
| CUSD CFD No. 90-2 | Talega | Bond-backed | September 1, 2032 | FY 2036-37, unless needed for debt service |

Each Talega home's own Orange County bill shows which of these lines it carries.

Orange County tax bills list Mello-Roos under “Special Assessment Charges”, and the Treasurer-Tax Collector now prints the actual name of the CFD bond issued by the agency or city, so the line on your bill matches the bond in the state’s record. The bill also includes a phone number that goes to the agency that issued the debt. To see which parcels a district covers, the Treasurer-Tax Collector links a map of Mello-Roos parcels.
For the water district’s CFD No. 99-1, the bonds outstanding mature on September 1, 2030 (2017 Series A) and September 1, 2038 (2014 Series B), and its rate and method stops the tax after Fiscal Year 2038-39 at the latest. For CFD No. 90-2, both bond series mature on September 1, 2032, and the levy ends after Fiscal Year 2036-37 unless it is still needed for debt service.
Those are the dates printed in the bond documents; we don’t estimate payoff dates, and your bill is the authority. General questions, such as whether a district can be paid off early, are answered on our sister site’s Chula Vista lookup.
Civil Code section 1102.6b asks a seller to try in good faith to get each levying agency’s Notice of Special Tax and hand it to the buyer. In Talega that usually means two notices, one per district, and having both ready early keeps escrow moving.
Two special tax lines can look like a lot at first glance. A short explanation of what each one pays for, and the year its bonds mature, makes it easy for buyers to compare Talega with the rest of town. Planning a sale? Start with a home value request for a Talega price estimate.
Other San Clemente districts are not on this page. The City’s own CFD No. 99-1, for example, is a commercial district around the Plaza Pacifica retail center, not Talega. We have not reviewed other south Orange County communities here.
