New to South Carolina? Don't Miss This Property Tax Breakdown

Описание: New to South Carolina? Don't Miss This Property Tax Breakdown
~
Property taxes surprise many people moving to South Carolina, not because they’re high, but because they work differently than most states. In this video, Joe Seaman explains how property taxes are based on how a home is used, not just its price, and why that matters so much when buying. If you’re considering a move to North Augusta, understanding these rules early can save you from costly surprises, especially for buyers looking in North Augusta or nearby North Augusta.
Joe breaks down legal residence status, also known as owner-occupant, and explains why applying is critical even after you close on a home. Until you apply and are approved, your property can be taxed at a higher rate, which catches many relocation buyers off guard. This is especially important for people buying in North Augusta, purchasing before they move to North Augusta, or planning to make North Augusta their full-time home.
The video also covers homestead exemptions, higher tax rates for second homes and rentals, and how timing your move can impact what you pay. The biggest takeaway is simple: know how the home will be used and apply for the right exemptions before you buy. If you’re relocating to North Augusta and want clear numbers before closing, Joe offers guidance for buyers focused on North Augusta and families planning a smooth transition into North Augusta.
