Records <\/a>for the property.\u00a0 If the property already shows a 4% tax rate, then there are no other calculations necessary.\u00a0 BUT, if there is a homestead exemption, add back this figure if not a senior.\u00a0 A Homestead Exemption is for seniors living in the Horry County home.\u00a0 Furthermore, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horrycounty.org\/gis\/parcels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Horry County GIS <\/a>site provides lots of helpful information to potential and current residents.<\/p>\n<h2>Military Veteran Benefits of Buying in South
