Frequently Asked Questions About South Carolina Property Taxes

What is the average property tax rate in South Carolina?
South Carolina has one of the lowest effective property tax rates in the nation at approximately 0.55%. A homeowner with a $250,000 property pays roughly $1,375 per year in property taxes.
How does property tax work in South Carolina?
South Carolina assesses property at 4% of market value for owner-occupied primary residences and 6% for non-owner-occupied residential property. This assessed value is then multiplied by the local millage rate. The 4% ratio is one of the most favorable in the nation for homeowners.
Are there property tax exemptions in South Carolina?
Yes. South Carolina offers a homestead exemption that exempts the first $50,000 of market value from property taxes for owner-occupied homes. Additional exemptions are available for disabled veterans, paraplegics, and certain seniors. Contact your county auditor to apply.
How do I appeal my South Carolina property tax assessment?
File an appeal with your County Board of Assessment Appeals within the timeframe specified on your assessment notice. Bring comparable sales data or an independent appraisal. Further appeals go to the South Carolina Administrative Law Court.
What is Act 388 in South Carolina?
Act 388 (2006) capped reassessment increases at 15% within a five-year period for owner-occupied homes and shifted some school funding from property taxes to sales tax. It also established the 4% assessment ratio for owner-occupied residential property.
