Bay Point is an unincorporated community in Contra Costa County, on Suisun Bay just west of Pittsburg. Because it is not a city, it has its own answer to almost every ownership question: the County holds your permit history, Delta Diablo sets the sewer rules, Golden State Water supplies the water, and there is no city transfer tax on top of the County's. Below is what to know about buying in Bay Point, along with the homes for sale right now.
Bay Point is a census designated place of about 6.4 square miles with 23,896 residents at the 2020 Census, up from 21,349 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It was known as West Pittsburg until 1993. It is unincorporated, so it is governed by Contra Costa County rather than a city council, and property tax bills come from the Contra Costa County Treasurer-Tax Collector. One practical consequence: the County, not the City of Pittsburg, holds the permit history for a Bay Point home, so that is who you ask about an addition or a converted garage.
The Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station at 1700 West Leland Road is the closest station, on the Antioch to SFIA/Millbrae line, with a transfer platform outside the station for the Antioch trains. Tri Delta Transit and Delta Breeze both serve the station, and Tri Delta route 374 runs between the station and Bay Point.
Bay Point sits along the shoreline of Suisun Bay, with Ambrose Park and the Bay Point waterfront nearby and Highway 4 running along the south. Pittsburg and Bay Point share ZIP code 94565, and the Postal Service accepts "Bay Point" as a mailing name for part of Pittsburg, so a listing that says Bay Point is not always outside city limits and a Pittsburg address is not always inside. The property tax bill settles it for any specific home.
Bay Point's public schools are in Mt. Diablo Unified School District, not Pittsburg Unified. The California School Directory lists Bel Air Elementary, Rio Vista Elementary, Shore Acres Elementary and Riverview Middle in Bay Point, all under Mt. Diablo Unified. Assignments are set by address, so confirm the current assignment for any home with the district.
Bay Point homes carry the 1 percent base property tax plus any voter-approved bonds, and some carry special taxes or assessments, so review the most recent bill from the Contra Costa County Treasurer-Tax Collector before you buy. Delta Diablo handles the sewer, and in Bay Point the owner maintains the entire side sewer from the house to the public main, which is further than many buyers expect. Delta Diablo runs about 43 miles of gravity sewer lines in the Bay Point collection system. Water comes from Golden State Water Company, not Contra Costa Water District. There is no city transfer tax in Bay Point, only the County's. Parts of the area fall within Contra Costa County Fire Protection District's Local Responsibility Area fire hazard mapping, which can affect insurance, so check the designation for the specific parcel. General information, not tax advice.
Bay Point pricing works best from closed Bay Point sales with similar utilities and condition, not from Pittsburg addresses a mile away, because the two get mixed together constantly, including in the MLS.
