What the county figure means here.
A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Orange County carries a $1,249,125 one-unit conforming loan limit value for 2026, and that is the county figure we reference for Anaheim. County reference, not an address-based lookup. Confirm the county of the property before using this value; city and metro boundaries can cross counties. Whichever county your property is in, the value is used in remaining-entitlement calculations — including on a 2–4 unit property — and is not a cap on what a fully-entitled buyer can finance.

Estimate a payment with your own rate assumptionAnaheim panel upgrades: an installer invoice is not the City's final approval
The City of Anaheim says a residential electrical service-panel upgrade requires an electrical permit, and permitted work must be inspected before it receives final approval. The City lists two inspections for this work: an Electrical Service Meter inspection and an Electrical Final. For a panel installation, relocation or upgrade, the Utilities Department's Meter Spot Report must be onsite when the Building Division inspects.
Practical step: if a listing says the panel was upgraded, ask the seller for the permit number and proof that the Electrical Final passed. Also ask whether the Meter Spot Report was completed. A contractor's invoice shows that someone was paid for the work. It does not show that the City inspected and approved it. If the seller cannot find the permit, ask the City's Building Division before closing rather than assuming either way.
Orange County supplemental tax bills arrive separately after an Anaheim purchase
The Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector explains that supplemental taxes are levied when a change in ownership or completed new construction raises the assessed value. Supplemental bills are prorated from the transfer date to the end of the tax year on June 30. Mailings happen only a few times a year, so a bill may arrive months after closing. If the purchase price was below the prior assessed value, a supplemental refund may be issued instead.
Practical step: budget for a supplemental bill in addition to the regular annual bill, and do not assume your first-year escrow payment covers it. When a supplemental notice arrives, check whether it applies to the tax year you owned the home. Contact the Treasurer-Tax Collector with questions about amounts or due dates.
