Every layer that applies to a San Francisco sale, added up.
California law does not assign it. In Southern California the seller usually pays; in the Bay Area it is often split.
San Francisco has the steepest schedule in California. Above $10 million the rate is 5.5 percent and above $25 million it is 6 percent, applied to the entire price. Crossing a bracket line by one dollar can cost hundreds of thousands.
