To apply for high mileage discount, you must apply at the Auditor's Office and bring a signed statement with your vehicle mileage prior to the due date.
Boats & Motors

You will also need to contact the Auditor's Office at 843-479-5608 - there are forms to be completed in the Auditor's Office.
Real estate
Homestead Exemption - In 1972, the S.C. General Assembly passed the Homestead Exemption Law which provides real estate property tax relief for South Carolinians who are age 65 and over, totally and permanently disabled, or legally blind. The exemption excludes the first $50,000 from the fair market value of your legal residence. For information, please refer to the Auditor's page under Elected Officials.
