How to Use the SC Property Tax Exemption<\/h2>\n

Who qualifies for the SC Property Tax Exemption?<\/h2>\n

South Carolina is very specific in the qualifications for the SC property tax exemption.\u00a0 They define eligible residents as all persons meeting the following\u00a0classifications.\u00a0 Those declared permanently and totally disabled by the Social Security Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, other state or federal agencies are eligible for a homestead exemption in an amount set by the General Assembly. \u00a0This also applies to persons over age 65.\u00a0 So, persons 100% permanently and totally disabled from a service-connected disability by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, an Ex-POW, or a Medal of Honor recipient may be tax exempt of property taxes in SC.\u00a0 Additionally, the tax exemption applies to the surviving spouse and may be transferred when purchasing another dwelling.<\/p>\n

Process to file for the SC Property Tax Exemption<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Obtain a signed statement from VA stating the\u00a0Veteran “is permanently and totally disabled as a result of a service connected disability as well as the effective date”<\/li>\n
  2. The property must be in the name of the Veteran or the Veteran and his\/her spouse **<\/li>\n
  3. Submit a copy of the deed<\/li>\n
  4. Proof of 4% approved\u00a0residency.\u00a0 For Horry County to obtain the 4% residency tax rate, you must complete follow this application process first<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Complete the Application for Exemption<\/span><\/a> which is Form PT401<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    South Carolina Department of Revenue\u00a0welcomes questions about this program.\u00a0 Call\u00a0803-898-5482 and they will be glad to help.\u00a0 Also, remember the home must be purchased first.\u00a0 Then the owner may request the exemption.<\/p>\n

    ** Because the home must be in the name of the Veteran, a VA must include property taxes initially in\u00a0the escrow portion of the payment.<\/p>\n
