St. Helena is an incorporated city of about 5,200 people in the upper Napa Valley, in Napa County, California, where in-town houses on city water sit inside a fixed growth line and vineyard land surrounds them. Redfin put the median sale price for its ZIP code, 94574, at $2,199,503 for the three months to June 2026. Inside the city limits, city rules decide what you can build and rent; beyond them, Napa County’s agricultural zoning applies.

St. Helena prices run far above the county’s, and homes here sell slowly. Redfin’s ZIP median was 41.9% higher than a year earlier, yet only 5.3% of homes sold above asking, more than a quarter of listings took a price cut, and Redfin scores the ZIP 18 out of 100, “not very competitive.” For comparison, the Napa County median was $918,000 in September 2026 (C.A.R.).
| Measure | Figure | Period and source |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price, ZIP 94574 | $2,199,503 (up 41.9% year over year) | 3 months to June 2026, Redfin (its calculation from MLS and public records) |
| Homes sold | 20 in June 2026 (15 a year earlier) | Redfin |
| Median days on market | 60 (54 a year earlier) | 3 months to June 2026, Redfin |
| Sale-to-list ratio | 96.4%; 5.3% sold above list | June 2026, Redfin |

| Napa County median, for comparison | $918,000 (up 2.0% year over year) | September 2026, C.A.R. |
Read the Redfin figures with care. Twenty sales a month is a small sample, and a few estate sales closing together can move the median sharply. Redfin’s newest month in October 2026 was June, and the same page quotes an average of $2.55 million elsewhere. The Census figure, based on owners’ estimates for all owner-occupied homes, is a steadier guide to a typical house in town.
How St. Helena’s city rules shape what you can buy
St. Helena was incorporated as a town on March 24, 1876 (City of St. Helena) and covers just under five square miles, all under city zoning, permits and utilities. Homes just beyond the limits, such as those on parts of Zinfandel Lane, Pratt Avenue, Lodi Lane and Deer Park Road where the city serves water outside its boundary, fall under Napa County planning instead. Confirm which side of the line a parcel is on before you plan an addition, a second unit or rental income.
A fixed growth line and a small housing target
The city council adopted General Plan 2040 on May 14, 2019, replacing the 1993 plan; at adoption it planned for about 330 new homes, roughly a 10% increase (California Planning & Development Report). Its Urban Limit Line generally matches the city limits, in places sitting inside them, and Napa LAFCO’s 2026 draft cites a General Plan buildout estimate of about 400 homes. The city’s state housing allocation for 2023 to 2031 is 256 units, 163 of them for very low and low incomes, and it had issued 24 permits by June 30, 2024 (Napa LAFCO’s draft service review, August 2026). With so little planned growth, expect most homes for sale to be existing houses.
Outside the line, Napa County’s agricultural rules apply. The Agricultural Preserve, created in April 1968, originally covered about 23,000 acres from Napa to Calistoga, and under Measures J (1990) and P (2008) converting agricultural land takes a public vote, under policies that can’t be changed without another vote until after 2058. Our Napa County real estate guide covers those county rules.
Transfer tax
St. Helena doesn’t add a transfer tax of its own. A sale here pays only Napa County’s documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 of value, which is $2,420 on a $2.2 million home, and the county passes half of what it collects inside the city to St. Helena (Napa County). By local custom the seller usually pays it, though the contract can say otherwise.
Can you rent out a St. Helena home short term?
Only if you hold one of 25 city permits, and you can’t take over the seller’s. The city council capped short-term rentals at 25 with Ordinance 2012-2 on April 10, 2012, and the city says it now has a waiting list (City of St. Helena). A short-term rental means renting a home for less than 30 days.
The current rules sit in section 17.22.200 of the municipal code:
- A permit is required to rent any single-family home short term, in any zoning district.
- The permit is issued in an owner’s name, and the applicant must have owned the home for at least three years.
- “The permit is not transferable,” so it ends when the home sells.
- A holder who doesn’t live in the home must actually rent it short term for an average of at least 60 days a year.
Stays that do qualify pay a 13% transient occupancy tax, 1% of which goes to the city’s affordable and workforce housing fund.
If a listing mentions rental history, ask whether the income came from a short-term permit. It won’t pass to you, and a new owner waits three years to apply, then joins the waiting list.
Co-ownership and timeshares
St. Helena also limits fractional ownership. Under a February 2024 settlement, Pacaso may keep operating four existing St. Helena homes as legal nonconforming uses but can’t add more under the current rules. While that lawsuit was pending, the council updated its timeshare ban to cover the LLC co-ownership model outright (St. Helena Star). Our guide to Pacaso and co-ownership explains how these arrangements usually work.
Water, wastewater and the city’s edge
St. Helena’s water system draws on Bell Canyon Reservoir, the Stonebridge wells and water bought from the City of Napa, and its treatment plant produces more than 500 million gallons a year (City of St. Helena). Napa LAFCO’s draft review puts the share piped in from Napa, through the Rutherford intertie, at about one-third.
Three findings in that draft matter to a buyer:
- Outside customers: about 331 of the system’s roughly 2,600 connections are outside the city limits, most of them near Zinfandel Lane and Highway 29, with smaller groups on Pratt Avenue, Lodi Lane, Deer Park Road and Howell Mountain Road.
- No new outside hookups: the municipal code prohibits new water connections outside the city except in limited cases, such as emergency fire protection. A rural parcel without a connection today should be bought as a well property.
- Rates and repairs: water rates rose 28% on September 1, 2023, a 2019 civil grand jury found the city’s water and sewer rates the highest in the county, the city’s capital plan shows a remaining water funding gap of about $19.8 million, and its Water and Wastewater Advisory Committee has estimated the system may need as much as $57.5 million in capital investment.
The draft hadn’t been adopted in October 2026, so confirm current rates with the city. For a home outside the city, Napa County Environmental Health issues well and septic permits (Napa County); ask for the well log, a recent flow test and the septic permit history.
Fire, hazards and insurance
CAL FIRE has released updated fire hazard severity zone maps for land the city is responsible for, the first revision since 2008. The city points owners to the state’s address lookup and notes that the maps are for planning, not for setting insurance prices (City of St. Helena). Look up the exact parcel, because the zone shows up in your hazard disclosures and decides whether the AB 38 rule below applies.
- Defensible space at sale: in a High or Very High zone, AB 38 requires the seller to provide a defensible-space inspection report from the six months before the sale, or a written agreement that the buyer will comply within a year of closing (State Fire Marshal).
- Recent fire history: the 2020 Glass Fire started on September 27 at North Fork Crystal Springs Road and Crystal Springs Road, burned 67,484 acres in Napa and Sonoma counties and destroyed 1,528 structures (CAL FIRE).
- Insurance: get quotes as soon as you’re in contract, and earlier still for wooded or hillside lots.
The St. Helena Fire Department answers calls from Station 17, with automatic aid from Napa County Fire and CAL FIRE.
Main Street, downtown and daily life
Three blocks of downtown St. Helena are listed together as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. Vineyards were planted here from the 1860s, the railroad arrived in 1868, and the town had 1,800 people by 1886 (City of St. Helena). If you’re buying an older home in or near downtown, ask the planning division whether historic-preservation review applies before you plan exterior changes.
- The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone: the college’s California campus is at 2555 Main Street, in the building that once housed the Christian Brothers Winery. Its restaurant, cooking classes, tours and open houses are open to the public (The Culinary Institute of America).
- Bothe-Napa Valley State Park: 5 miles north on Highway 29/128, with more than 10 miles of trails, redwoods in Ritchey Canyon, camping and a weekend pool (California State Parks).
- City Hall: 1088 College Avenue, where the Building and Planning Division takes permit and zoning questions.
- Public schools: the St. Helena Unified School District, with its office at 465 Main Street, runs St. Helena Primary, St. Helena Elementary, Robert Louis Stevenson Middle and St. Helena High schools. Confirm the assigned school for an address with the district.
Vineyards and the St. Helena AVA
The St. Helena American Viticultural Area is a federal wine region within the Napa Valley appellation. Its boundary starts where Highway 29 meets Zinfandel Lane and is traced along Bale Slough, Sulphur Creek, Bale Lane, the Silverado Trail, part of the St. Helena city limits, Howell Mountain Road and Conn Valley Road (27 CFR §9.149). It was established in 1995.
Napa Valley Vintners describes the area as warm and sheltered by the western hills, at about 200 to 475 feet, and the 2024 federal rule creating the Crystal Springs of Napa Valley AVA notes that most St. Helena AVA slopes are under 5%. Across Napa County, grapes averaged $6,635.85 a ton in 2025, the highest of any district in California (CDFA crush report).
For a vineyard parcel outside the city, check the county’s rules early. Under the county’s 1990 Winery Definition Ordinance, a new winery in the unincorporated county needs a parcel of at least 10 acres and must source at least 75% of its grapes from Napa County. See our vineyard property guide, our list of vineyards and wineries for sale in Napa County and the Napa Valley appellation overview.
Luxury homes and estates in St. Helena
St. Helena’s high-end property falls on two sides of the city line, and the rules differ sharply. Inside the city, the City Council adopted a new zoning code on October 24, 2023, and the current zoning map was revised in May 2024 (City of St. Helena: zoning information). Older homes in and near downtown may sit in the Historic Preservation Overlay, set out in zoning code section 17.21.040 and mapped in a March 2024 update, alongside a Local Register of Historic Properties (City of St. Helena: Historic Preservation Overlay). Beyond the line, vineyard estates sit on Napa County agricultural land: the county’s zoning schedule sets a 40-acre minimum lot area in the AP (Agricultural Preserve) district and 160 acres in AW (Agricultural Watershed) (Napa County Code §18.104.010). Many existing parcels are smaller legal lots created before those minimums.
The due diligence that matters most on a high-value St. Helena purchase:
- City or county. Use it to locate the permit agency, then separately verify actual water service, historic status and any project-specific review; see city and unincorporated homes in St. Helena.
- Water on estate parcels. For a rural estate, confirm the actual water provider, existing service rights and current outside-city connection policy directly; do not infer a well or a connection entitlement from the mailing address; see wells, septic and groundwater in Napa County.
- Fire hardening and insurance; see insuring a high-value home, the California FAIR Plan and home hardening.
- Permit history for additions, pool houses and guest houses; see homes with guest houses and our older-home renovation records guide.
- Vineyard-adjacent issues and Williamson Act contracts; see vineyard-adjacent home due diligence and our Williamson Act guide.
Many St. Helena owners prefer discretion. Ask Diamond Real Estate Group which permitted private-marketing options fit your property, goals and the applicable MLS rules. Availability of any particular listing is not guaranteed. Related reading: private and off-market sales.

Permits, ADUs and remodels in St. Helena
Inside the city limits, the City of St. Helena’s Planning and Building divisions handle zoning, design and building permits under Title 17 of the municipal code (St. Helena Municipal Code, Title 17). Title 17 has separate chapters for residential districts (17.16), community agricultural and natural resource districts (17.19) and overlay districts (17.21). Useful starting points:
- What’s my zoning? The city links a Napa County GIS viewer for zoning lookups, alongside the May 2024 zoning map (City of St. Helena: planning resources).
- ADUs: the city keeps a dedicated ADU page with current rules.
- Historic properties: the overlay map, the Local Register and prior surveys (1978, 2006, Charter Oak and Spring Street) are posted on the city’s historic preservation page.
- Development review: the city’s development review process page explains the steps for larger projects.
Outside the city, Napa County Planning, Building and Environmental Services issues permits (Napa County).
St. Helena property tax and county records
St. Helena is a city, but property tax and recorded documents are county functions:
- Assessed value and parcel data: the Napa County Assessor’s real property pages and parcel data eService (Napa County: Real Property).
- Tax bills: the Napa County Treasurer-Tax Collector (Secured Property Taxes; pay online). Installments generally become delinquent after December 10 and April 10, subject to applicable holiday/weekend rules and the actual bill (Revenue and Taxation Code §2617, §2618).
- After you buy: a reassessable ownership change may produce supplemental tax or a refund (Napa County: New Owner Information).
- Utility costs may include separately billed services and parcel charges; confirm both; budget them with our St. Helena utility costs guide.
Our Napa County property tax guide covers rates, exemptions and appeals.
St. Helena real estate: questions people ask
How do I choose a real estate agent in St. Helena?
Verify the license on the California Department of Real Estate lookup, then ask how the agent handles the city line, water connections, the short-term rental permit cap and historic review. Diamond’s broker, Matthew Martinez (DRE #01869679), works with Napa Valley buyers and sellers.
Who handles permits for a St. Helena home?
Inside the city limits, the City of St. Helena’s Planning and Building divisions; outside them, Napa County Planning, Building and Environmental Services. A St. Helena mailing address doesn’t settle which applies, so check the parcel first.
Are St. Helena homes ever sold off-market?
Some owners sell privately. Ask Diamond Real Estate Group which permitted private-marketing options fit your property, goals and the applicable MLS rules. Availability of any particular listing is not guaranteed. Start on our Napa County buying page.
Is my St. Helena home in the historic overlay?
Check the Historic Preservation Overlay map, updated in March 2024, on the city’s historic preservation page, and ask the Planning Division whether the property is on the Local Register. Do it before you plan exterior changes or a demolition.
Did St. Helena change its zoning recently?
Yes. The City Council adopted a new zoning code on October 24, 2023, after a three-year process, and the zoning map was revised in May 2024 (City of St. Helena). Older reports or listing remarks may cite the previous code.

Getting around from St. Helena
Highway 29, signed Highway 29/128 north of town, and the Silverado Trail both run up the valley past St. Helena, with Calistoga about 9 miles north (State Parks distances). For transit, VINE’s Route 10 Up Valley Connector runs seven days a week, and the St Helena Shuttle, a flexible local service, runs Monday through Saturday (VINE Transit). Working residents averaged a 21.1-minute commute in 2020 to 2024, according to the Census Bureau.

How Diamond Real Estate Group helps St. Helena buyers
In St. Helena the questions that change a price are usually about rules, not finishes. During the contingency period, confirm whether the parcel is inside the city limits, whether it has a city water connection or a well, what the fire zone is, whether any rental history depends on a permit that won’t transfer, and whether historic review applies. Compare sales for lot, water source and location, not just the ZIP median.

Our buyer services page sets out the process step by step.
Selling a home in St. Helena
Within city limits, St. Helena’s own planning and building staff hold the permit record, and city rules decide what a buyer can do with the house. Parcels just beyond the line, even with a St. Helena address, are under Napa County. Confirm which applies to your parcel first, since it changes the records you gather.
Transfer tax
A St. Helena sale pays Napa County’s documentary transfer tax, $0.55 for each $500 of value. At $1,650,000 that is $1,815, and half of the base tax goes to the city. We did not find a city transfer tax on top of it. Napa County says sellers customarily pay in Northern California, though buyer and seller can agree otherwise. Read more about transfer tax in California.
A short-term rental permit does not sell with the house
The municipal code is blunt: “The permit is not transferable.” The city caps short-term rental permits at 25, and an applicant must have owned the home for at least three years before applying. If you have run a permitted rental, present that income as history, not as something the buyer inherits. Price the home as a residence or a long-term rental.
Water, septic and the city line
Buyers of edge-of-town homes ask early whether the house has a city water connection or relies on a well. If it has a connection, have recent water bills ready. If it is on a well or septic system, Napa County Environmental Health holds the permits; order the file and consider a well yield test before you list.
State requirements at sale
- A written statement that smoke alarms work and the water heater is strapped.
- Carbon monoxide alarms where the home has gas appliances, a fireplace or an attached garage.
- A disclosure of any plumbing fixtures that don’t meet water-conserving standards.
- In a High or Very High fire hazard zone, AB 38 documentation or a signed one-year compliance agreement. Ask the city which agency inspects.
Buyers of older homes near downtown tend to ask about past permits and any historic review. Sales are thin, so comparables need care; start with a home valuation.

St. Helena real estate FAQs
Is St. Helena its own city?
Yes. Incorporated in 1876, it has its own council, planning division, police, fire department and water system. Land just beyond the city limits is under Napa County, so check which side of the line a parcel is on.
How much does a house in St. Helena cost?
Redfin’s median for ZIP 94574 was $2,199,503 for the three months to June 2026, at about $1,020 a square foot. The Census Bureau’s median value for owner-occupied homes in the city, $1,647,700 for 2020 to 2024, is a steadier benchmark because a few large sales don’t move it.
Can I buy a St. Helena home and use it as a vacation rental?
Not right away. The city allows only 25 short-term rental permits and has a waiting list, an applicant must have owned the home for three years, and the seller’s permit is not transferable. Rentals of 30 days or more don’t need a short-term permit.
Can I buy a share of a home through Pacaso or a similar company?
Only in the four Pacaso homes the 2024 settlement allowed to keep operating; the updated timeshare ordinance bars new LLC co-ownership arrangements of that kind. If you plan to buy jointly with other people, ask a real estate attorney how the timeshare rules apply.
Where does St. Helena’s water come from?
From Bell Canyon Reservoir, the city’s Stonebridge wells and treated water bought from the City of Napa, which supplies about a third. Rates rose 28% in 2023, so budget for water costs accordingly.
Can a home just outside St. Helena get city water?
Only if it already has a connection. About 331 outside-city connections exist, but the municipal code prohibits new ones except in limited cases such as emergency fire protection. If a rural listing relies on a well, ask for the well log and a recent yield and water-quality test.
Is there a city transfer tax in St. Helena?
No. Only Napa County’s $1.10 per $1,000 applies, half of which goes to the city, and the seller customarily pays it in Northern California.
Is St. Helena in a fire hazard severity zone?
Check each address on CAL FIRE’s map, linked from the city’s fire hazard page. In a High or Very High zone, AB 38 defensible-space paperwork is part of the sale. The 2020 Glass Fire, which started at Crystal Springs Road, is a reason to get insurance quotes early.
Are new homes being built in St. Helena?
Not many. The General Plan allows for a few hundred more homes in total, the state allocation for 2023 to 2031 is 256 units, and 24 had been permitted by mid-2024. Most homes for sale are existing houses.
What is the St. Helena AVA?
The federal St. Helena wine appellation, set out in 27 CFR §9.149 and established in 1995, one of the AVAs nested within Napa Valley. Its boundary starts at Highway 29 and Zinfandel Lane, so confirm a vineyard’s status from the boundary description, not the listing.
Are there homes for sale near the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone?
Sometimes. The campus is at 2555 Main Street, inside the city, but ZIP 94574 sees only about 20 sales a month. Use our property search with a map boundary around Main Street.
Which school district serves St. Helena?
The St. Helena Unified School District, whose schools include St. Helena Primary, St. Helena Elementary, Robert Louis Stevenson Middle and St. Helena High. Confirm the assigned school for an address with the district office at 465 Main Street.
