One of the most important things homeowners in South Carolina need to know after buying a home… 👇🏼
Make sure you apply for the 4% primary residence tax rate.
I’m currently working with a client who was NEVER informed about this after purchasing their home… and they’ve been paying nearly TRIPLE the property taxes they should have been paying. 🤯
In South Carolina, if a home is your primary residence, you may qualify for the 4% owner-occupied tax assessment instead of the 6% rate for secondary homes or investment properties.
The difference can literally save homeowners thousands of dollars over time.
Unfortunately, a lot of buyers assume this happens automatically after closing…but it doesn’t. You have to apply through the county!
DM me if you need help on how to apply for yours!
