Real property (land, houses, buildings, mobile homes) tax notices are

filed with the tax assessor's office to qualify as a year-round
resident); second home, 6%.
Homestead Exemption
Once you have established one-year residency and you are over the age of
65, you are eligible for a homestead exemption of $20,000. That
exemption, if applied to a $100,000 home, would reduce your property tax
by $173.00.
Income Tax
S.C. Department of Revenue - (843) 293-6550
South Carolina has a simplified income tax structure which follows the

tax of $300 is imposed on the purchase of motor vehicles, including
recreational vehicles, boats, motorcycles and airplanes.
