Local escrow details for Tustin
- Newer communities such as Tustin Legacy usually have HOA dues and may include Mello-Roos special taxes on the property tax bill; both show up on your estimated settlement statement.
- North Tustin (the Tustin Foothills) is unincorporated Orange County despite its Tustin mailing addresses, so permits and local rules come from the County of Orange rather than the City of Tustin.
- Old Town has many older and historic homes; buyers planning changes should check city requirements early.
