South Carolina Property Tax Calculator – South Carolina property taxes fund schools, roads, and local services. The median annual payment is $1,093, with an effective rate of 0.53%, sixth-lowest in the U.S. Taxes are based on assessed value (4% of market value for primary residences, 6% for others), multiplied by local mill rates, varying by county.

How Property Taxes Are Calculated

South Carolina property taxes are calculated as:

[ \text{Assessed Value} = \text{Market Value} \times \text{Assessment Ratio (0.04 or 0.06)} ] [ \text{Taxes} = \text{Assessed Value} \times \left( \text{Mill Rate} \div 1,000 \right) ]

  • Market Value: Set by county assessors, reappraised every five years.

  • Assessed Value: 4% for primary residences, 6% for others.

  • Mill Rate: Set by local authorities, in mills ($1 per $1,000).

  • Exemptions: Homestead ($50,000), legal residence, veterans.

Example:
$350,000 primary residence in Charleston County (4.6 mills):

  • Assessed Value = $350,000 × 0.04 = $14,000

  • Taxes = $14,000 × (4.6 ÷ 1,000) = $64.40 (low due to mill rate; effective rate yields ~$1,610)

Taxes are due January 15.
