HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION

SC Department of Revenue Information on Homestead Exemption:

The Homestead Exemption is a complete exemption of taxes on the first $50,000 in Fair Market Value of your Legal Residence for homeowners over age 65, totally and permanently disabled, or legally blind.

 

To qualify for a Homestead Exemption, you must be a legal resident of South Carolina for at least one year on or before December 31 of the year prior to the exemption


Example:  If you become a resident between January 1 and December 31, 2020, you will qualify in  2022.  If you become a resident in January 2021, you will not qualify until 2023.

 

You must apply for the Homestead Exemption at your County Auditor's office. If you are unable to go to the Auditor's office, you may authorize someone to apply for you.
