Informal Appeals

If you filed an informal appeal, in accordance with S.C. Code 12-60-2550, your assessment may be reduced to 80% of the protested property tax assessment or the taxpayer requested percentage until the appeal is resolved.  The tax notice based on this reduced assessment must be paid as in other cases.  Penalties will apply if the tax notice is not paid by the date indicated.  After final review of the appeal, an adjusted tax notice will be prepared and the difference, if any, will be refunded or billed accordingly.

Attorney General’s Opinion, 1994 Op Atty Gen, No 94-23, p58 states, where county mails a tax notice to an address which the county believes will provide notice to the property owner of the amount of taxes owed on such property, any late payment of the taxes on such property will be subject to penalty under S.C. Code Ann. Section §12-45-180 where the person authorized to send the notice exercised diligence to ascertain the correct address of the property owner or used an address consistent with the intentions of the property owner.
