About Property Taxes in South Carolina
South Carolina offers one of the most favorable property tax systems for primary homeowners in the country. Owner-occupied primary residences (called "legal residences") are assessed at only 4% of market value, compared to 6% for non-owner-occupied residential and investment properties. This 4% vs. 6% difference is substantial — a primary homeowner pays about one-third less in taxes than an investor owning the same home. Property taxes in South Carolina are administered at the county level. Tax bills are typically mailed in October and due January 15.
Payment & Assessment
South Carolina property taxes are due January 15. A 15-day grace period applies in most counties, making the effective final deadline January 30. After that, a 3% penalty applies in the first month, with additional interest charges for continued non-payment. Motor vehicle property taxes are also collected by counties in South Carolina, billed at the same time you renew your vehicle registration. Most counties offer online payment. Contact your county treasurer for payment options.
