Every layer that applies to a San Diego sale, added up.
Usually the seller in Southern California, though the contract decides.
San Diego does have a city transfer tax ordinance, but it is a conforming one at half the county rate, and state law credits it against the county tax. The result is that you pay the same $0.55 per $500 as anywhere else in San Diego County. There is no extra city charge.
