In NC, Jackson County has the bragging rights as the lowest tax rate at .2800 per $100 in value, but many others have low rates such as Brunswick (.485), Moore (.465), Craven (.4675), Macon (.3490), and the highest county rate is Scotland at 1.03 per $100.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this map which shows the lowest to highest states for property taxes:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/d2e70e9yced57e.cloudfront.net\/wallethub\/embed\/11585\/property-geochart1.html\" width=\"556\" height=\"347\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 556px; font-size: 12px; color: #888;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/wallethub.com\/edu\/states-with-the-highest-and-lowest-property-taxes\/11585\/\">WalletHub<\/a><\/div>\n<p>For retirees or disabled Veterans, Team Move is familiar with the steps to take in order to lower your property taxes or even be exempt from property taxes in certain areas of North Carolina and South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Property Tax Resources:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/teammovemortgage.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/19\/south-carolina-property-tax-exemption-for-100-permanently-disabled-veterans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Carolina Property Tax Exemption for 100% Permanently Disabled Veterans<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/teammovemortgage.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/24\/horry-county-sc-tax-office-application-for-legal-residence-4-special-assessment-rate\/\">Horry County, SC Tax Office Application for Legal Residence 4% Special Assessment Rate<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/teammovemortgage.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/20\/north-carolina-property-tax-relief-for-the-elderly-disabled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">North Carolina Property Tax Relief for the Elderly and Disabled<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Property Taxes can make or break the affordability of a home purchase.
