A second home in South Carolina

If the assessor finds you don't qualify for the 4% legal residence ratio, the six percent ratio applies. You can appeal that classification. scstatehouse.govOct 21
When you apply, you certify that no one in your household claims the 4% ratio on another residence or claims legal residence in another state. scstatehouse.govOct 21
If the ownership or use changes, tell the assessor within six months. Lose eligibility without telling them and the penalty is one hundred percent of the tax paid plus interest. scstatehouse.govOct 21
