A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund, covering the 12-month period from June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010.

Psychology historically has played an important role in how investors —especially individual investors — perceive the financial markets and make asset allocation decisions. Unlike the purely rational investor who, in an ideal world, would seek investments that potentially can deliver the best risk/return characteristics, the everyday investor typically has been influenced by emotions. Currently, investors’ emotions appear to be deeply divided, with a large number still seeking low risk investments (such as cash instruments), and others favoring higher risk investments (such as smaller-cap and emerging market stocks). Meanwhile, investment classes in the middle of the risk spectrum seemingly have been largely avoided.

It is important to note that investor sentiment often lags the economic cycle.That’s why we continue to stress the importance of a long-term, well balanced asset allocation strategy that can help cushion the volatility produced by the emotional swings of the financial markets. If you have not revisited your investment portfolio recently, we urge you to speak with your financial advisor about taking advantage of long-term market fundamentals rather than remaining susceptible to the effects of emotional reactions to short-term developments.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010, as provided by Jeffrey B. Burger and James Welch, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2010, Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund’s Class A,B,C,I and Z shares achieved total returns of 8.30%, 7.65%, 7.36%, 8.57% and 8.52%, respectively.¹The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 8.52% for the same period.²

Municipal bonds generally continued to gain value over the reporting period amid robust demand for a limited supply of securities. The fund’s Class I and Class Z shares performed in line with its benchmark, as shortfalls stemming from the fund’s high-quality bias were balanced by the success of our security selection strategy.

On a separate note, Jeffrey B. Burger and James Welch became co-primary portfolio managers of the fund in December 2009.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal and California state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal and California state personal income taxes.The fund also seeks to provide income exempt from the federal Alternative Minimum Tax. The fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade (“junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio normally exceeds 10 years, but the fund’s average portfolio maturity is not restricted.

We focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities, and we minimize the use of interest rate forecasting. We select municipal

bonds by using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market.We actively trade among various sectors, such as pre-refunded, general obligation and revenue, based on their apparent relative values.

Municipal Bonds Rebounded with U.S. Economy

An improving U.S. economy bolstered confidence among consumers, businesses and investors during the reporting period. However, unemployment has remained stubbornly high, and the pace of the economic recovery so far has proved to be slower than historical averages. In addition, most states, including California, have continued to struggle with declining tax revenues and intensifying demand for services. In light of these challenges, the Federal Reserve Board left short-term interest rates unchanged throughout the reporting period in a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%.

In this environment, the national municipal bond market was influenced by improving investor sentiment. In addition, municipal bonds were supported by favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. Issuance of new tax-exempt bonds moderated significantly due to the federally subsidized Build America Bonds program, part of the stimulus package that shifted a substantial portion of new issuance to the taxable bond market. Meanwhile, demand for municipal bonds intensified as individual and institutional investors sought alternatives to low yielding money market funds. Consequently, longer-term municipal bond yields trended downward, on average, over the reporting period. For much of the reporting period, performance was stronger among lower-rated municipal bonds that had been punished severely during the downturn, while bonds backed by general tax revenues generally lagged market averages.

Security Selection Strategy Supported Fund Returns

Given California’s serious fiscal challenges, we maintained a bias toward higher-quality securities.We generally favored municipal bonds backed by revenues from utilities, transportation resources and other facilities that our credit analysts considered fundamentally sound and relatively liquid. Conversely, we typically shied away from bonds backed by general tax receipts on the state and local levels. Although

we do not attempt to forecast interest rates, we emphasized 20-year securities, where we believed the risk adjusted total return potential was optimized, particularly due to the yield curve’s steepness.

Supply-and-Demand Factors May Remain Favorable

Although California state and local governments have remained under pressure, we have continued to find attractive opportunities among individual municipal bond issuers. In addition, we remain optimistic about the overall market’s long-term prospects. Demand seems likely to stay robust as investors grow increasingly concerned regarding potential income tax increases on the state and federal levels. In addition, the Build America Bonds program may be extended beyond its current expiration date at the end of this year, which could keep the national supply of new tax-exempt bonds relatively low. Consequently, we have continued to focus on higher-quality, revenue-backed bonds. For new purchases, we have emphasized bonds with coupon rates above 5% to position the fund for expected challenges when short-term interest rates eventually begin to rise.

June 15, 2010

Bond funds are subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.


1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into
	consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable
	contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C
	shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Each share class is subject
	to a different expense structure and will achieve different returns. Class I and Class Z (which is
	closed to new investors) are not subject to any initial or deferred sales charges. Past performance is
	no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon
	redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject
	to state and local taxes for non-California residents. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return
	figure for Class I shares reflects the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus
	Corporation which may be modified or terminated at any time. Had these expenses not been
	absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.
2	SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital
	gain distributions.The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged
	and geographically unrestricted total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-
	grade, tax-exempt bond market. Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with
	operating a mutual fund.

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment in Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal

Bond Fund, Inc. Class Z shares and the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index

^†Source: Lipper Inc.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Class Z shares of Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal

Bond Fund on 5/31/00 to a $10,000 investment made in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”)

on that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund invests primarily in California municipal securities and its performance shown in the line graph takes into

account all applicable fees and expenses for Class Z shares. Performance for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I

shares will vary from the performance of Class Z shares shown above due to differences in charges and expenses.The

Index is not limited to investments principally in California municipal obligations.The Index, unlike the fund, is an

unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-grade, geographically unrestricted tax-

exempt bond market, calculated by using municipal bonds selected to be representative of the municipal market overall.

These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming or underperforming the fund. Unlike a mutual fund,

the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. Further

information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial

Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund (the “fund”) is the sole series of Dreyfus Premier California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and California state income taxes, as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 600 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers five classes of shares: Class A (100 million shares authorized), Class B (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized), Class I (100 million shares authorized) and Class Z (200 million shares authorized). Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. The fund does not offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class C shares are subject t o a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value per share generally only to shareholders who received Class Z shares in exchange for their shares of General California Municipal Bond Fund, California Municipal Income, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

and Dreyfus California Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, as a result of the reorganization of such funds. Class Z shares generally are not available for new accounts. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Directors. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as deter-

mined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted
prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds,
credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).


The Fund	37

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:


		Level 2—Other	Level 3—
	Level 1—	Significant	Significant
	Unadjusted	Observable	Unobservable
	Quoted Prices	Inputs	Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:
Municipal Bonds	—	1,335,446,336	—	1,335,446,336

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures surrounding purchases,sales,issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective f or fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended May 31, 2010, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.


The Fund	39

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended May 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At May 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax exempt income $566,377, accumulated capital losses $24,624,833 and unrealized appreciation $53,139,497. In addition, the fund had $857,790 of capital losses realized after October 31, 2009, which were deferred for tax purposes to the first day of the following fiscal year.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to May 31, 2010. If not applied, $5,001,471 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $187,278 expires in fiscal 2014, $3,616,725 expires in fiscal 2016 and $15,819,359 expires in fiscal 2018. Based on certain provisions in the Code, some of these losses acquired from fund mergers are subject to an annual limitation.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 were as follows: tax exempt income $55,373,408 and $58,188,156 and ordinary income $135,214 and $26,947, respectively.

During the period ended May 31, 2010, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization adjustments and dividend reclassification, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $280,980, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $123,427 and increased paid-in capital by $157,553. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus (each,

a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended May 31, 2010, was approximately $19,900 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.41%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Agreement provides that if in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses allocable to Class Z shares, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed 1¹/₂% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class Z shares, the fund may deduct from the fees paid to the Manager, or the Manager will bear such excess expense. During the period ended May 31, 2010, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the Agreement.

The Manager had undertaken from June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010 to reduce the expenses paid by Class I shares, to the extent that Class I shares aggregate annual expenses, exclusive of certain expenses as described above, do not exceed an annual rate of .70% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class I shares. The reduction in expenses for Class I shares, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $409 during the period ended May 31, 2010.

During the period ended May 31, 2010, the Distributor retained $21,450 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $22,728 and $4,152 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.


The Fund	41

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .50% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. During the period ended May 31, 2010, Class B and Class C shares were charged $5,701 and $62,912, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of their shares, for the provision of certain services.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended May 31, 2010, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $300,414, $2,851 and $20,971, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class Z shares reimburse the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of Class Z shares’ average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding Class Z shares and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended May 31, 2010, Class Z shares were charged $397,969 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund, (the sole series comprising Dreyfus Premier California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund Inc.) as of May 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and others.We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund at May 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
