South Carolina requires counties to conduct a property tax reassessment every 5 years.
📍 In the Charleston Tri-County area:
-
Charleston County – 2025
-
Berkeley County – 2029
-
Dorchester County – 2029
👉 Charleston County reassessment notices are already being mailed to homeowners.
A few key reminders:
-
No action is required unless you believe your property has been over-assessed.
-
An assessment is not an appraisal — a lower value simply helps keep your property taxes low.
-
Taxes are determined by the county assessment and typically paid via your mortgage escrow account.
