South Carolina Association of Counties 2010 Property Tax Report
METHODOLOGY OF PROPERTY TAX COLLECTION
The South Carolina Property Tax Rates Report is produced annually to provide information for state and local officials on millage rates for every
county of the state. The SC Association of Counties requests categorical breakdowns of millage rates and fees in order to provide a complete listing
of charges by county. We appreciate the contribution of all the County Auditors in developing each year’s report. The information provided for each
county is listed below in the order that it is presented in the report.
COUNTY BASE MILLAGE RATE: Individual county millage rates with a breakdown for purpose of levy (e.g., county operating, bonds, sewer,
hospital, library, etc.) are added together to produce this total county base millage rate. To this county base are added the other applicable millage
rates and fees dependent upon school district and location within the county.
SCHOOL DISTRICT(S) MILLAGE RATE: School district/zone millage rates with details on purpose (e.g., operating, bonds, special schools,
etc.) are added together to produce the total millage for each school district. Beginning in 2007, residential primary owner-occupied properties are
exempt from the school property tax and are not charged a school district millage rate.
MUNICIPAL MILLAGE RATES: If the city or town charges a millage rate, it will appear with its respective county listing.
OTHER COUNTY MILLAGE RATES NOT INCLUDED IN COUNTY BASE: Special purpose districts and special tax districts may charge
mils for a specific purpose such as fire protection, water/sewer service, road maintenance, lights, recycling, recreation, etc. The location where the
millage is charged is listed in the report.
SPECIAL FEES (additional charges): Special fees are similar to special purpose districts and special tax districts in their purposes, but instead of
being a millage rate, they are a flat fee or dollar amount charged for the service. (e.g. fire, road maintenance, solid waste, sewer, recycling, etc.)
INDUSTRIAL ABATEMENTS (potential exemptions for qualified facilities): By State law, a five year abatement of the county portion of
property taxes is available to qualifying manufacturers, distribution facilities, corporate headquarters and corporate offices. When the county
abatement is applied, the property is not eligible for the local option tax credit factor until the five year abatement period expires. Likewise, if the
company negotiates a fee-in-lieu of property taxes with the county, the local option sales tax credit does not apply until the fee-in-lieu period
expires, typically 15 to 20 years. More information about abatement of industrial properties may be obtained from the SC Department of Revenue.
VALUE OF ONE MIL (based on county operations only): This figure is an approximate value based on a percentage of a county’s assessed value
contingent upon 100% collections. It may be used as a point of reference by which to determine a county’s tax base in comparative analyses.
LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX CREDIT FACTOR: Page 19 lists County/City Tax Credit Factors for jurisdictions with a local option sales tax.
ESTIMATING PROPERTY TAXES / EXAMPLES
1.) DETERMINE THE TOTAL MILLAGE RATE that applies to the property by adding the county base millage rate, the city millage rate (if
charged -- only cities charging a millage appear with their respective county listings), the school district millage rate (except for owner-occupied
residential properties), and any applicable “other” special purpose/special tax district mils charged to your property.
County Base + School District (if applicable) + City/Town (if applicable) + Other/Special Mils (if applicable) = Total Millage
2.) DETERMINE THE ASSESSED VALUE OF THE PROPERTY. Multiply the assessment ratio (set forth by State law dependent on property
classification) by the fair market value of the property. The value of real and personal property used in manufacturing operations is established by
the South Carolina Department of Revenue. The real and personal property values of certain distribution facilities, corporate headquarters, and
corporate offices are also established by the Department of Revenue. All other property values are the responsibility of county government.
Assessment ratios applied to the fair market value of real property vary by classification set forth by State law as follows:
Manufacturing and utility companies (real and personal property) - 10.5%
Residential real estate (owner-occupied) - 4.0%
Commercial and residential non-owner-occupied real property - 6.0%
Agricultural real property (private or commercial ownership, respectively) - 4.0% or 6.0%
Motor vehicles - 6.0%
All other personal property - 10.5%
3.) MULTIPLY THE ASSESSED VALUE BY THE TOTAL MILLAGE RATE. Assessed Value x Millage Rate = Property Tax
Note: The above method should be used for determining estimates only. The calculation does not include property tax rollbacks for local option sales tax credits in
certain counties. Contact the county auditor for the actual property tax on a specific property.
Industrial Property Example with County Abatement
Fair Market Value of Property $50,000,000
Assessment Ratio for manufacturing x 10.5%
Assessed Value $5,250,000
Millage Rate (example) x .235
Property Tax $1,233,750
County Abatement: -$414,750*
*$5,250,000 x .079 (example) = $414,750
Property Tax with Abatement $819,000
During the 5 years that the county abatement is applied, the
property is not eligible for the local option sales tax credit.
Residential Property Example
Fair Market Value of Property $200,000
Assessment Ratio on owner-occupied home x 4%
Assessed Value $8,000
Millage Rate (example) x .235
Property Tax $1,880
Residential owner-occupied properties are exempt from school
property taxes. Omit school district millages from the total
millage rate to calculate property tax for this property
classification.
