Orangeburg County offers a Homestead Exemption (up to $50,000 off assessed value for primary residences, subject to income limits) and Senior Citizens Exemption; file with the Orangeburg County Assessor's office to claim either. Contact the Orangeburg County Assessor immediately after purchase to verify your homestead classification and confirm your exemption application was recorded before the next revaluation cycle.
