r/southcarolina on Reddit: Vehicle Property Tax Question??
December 1, 2022 -

I'm considering moving to South Carolina to retire and I just found out that your state has a annual yearly property tax. Can someone explain to me how to calculate the yearly cost? I read that it's 6% of the vehicles value, but is there a cap?

As an example if I have a newer car that I'm bringing in from out of state when I move there, and the car cost me $100k, does that mean I have to pay 6% of the 100k which is $6k a year in taxes? That sounds incredibly high.

You pay tax to the county you are in, there is also a flat one time $250 IMF fee when bringing a car into SC. Initially registering a car here can be kind of expensive, when I moved here my 2018 Volt was worth about $25k and I think I paid roughly $750 altogether to get it titled/tagged/registered/taxes paid in Spartanburg county. Some counties have much lower rates than others, all depends. The good news is that there is a sales tax cap of $500 on vehicle purchases, so if you buy a $50k vehicle, you'd only owe the state of SC $500, and then you'd pay property tax to the county you live in to be able to register it.

FAQs • How is the fee calculated?
Examples of impervious surfaces include roofs of buildings and asphalt or concrete (such as driveways or parking lots). Governments typically use the amount of impervious surface on each property as the basis for the fee calculations because it is the most accurate, readily available indicator of the impact each property has on the stormwater system.

South Carolina Property Tax Calculator - SmartAsset
To calculate the exact amount of property tax you will owe requires your property's assessed value and the property tax rates based on your property's address. Please note that we can only estimate your property tax based on median property taxes in your area. There are typically multiple rates in a given area, because your state, county, local schools and emergency responders each receive funding partly through these taxes.

March 10, 2025 -

Is there any way to get an estimate of what the cost of the taxes will be on my vehicle? I’m in the process from moving back up here from Florida until I can buy a place in FL and Florida insurance is killer. Just trying to plan in advance what the cost will be to transfer states.

According to the SC DMV , you will pay a one-time fee of $305 plus the taxes. This includes a regular/standard plate. If you choose a specialty plate they are around $110. The linked site also shows what's needed to get a SC License. The taxes will depend on primarily the age/make/model of the vehicle and whether you live in the city or county. I'm in the city an in my household there are 3 examples: 4-year old car that is worth about $22k now. 2024 taxes were $420.79 (haven't received 2025 yet). If I had to guess, this year will be about $350. 2025 taxes for 19-year old Toyota were $25.14 2025 taxes for a 1997 truck were $25.14 The process here is to visit the County Treasurer's office to pay the taxes/fees, then take your paid tax receipt to the DMV to complete the registration process and get your tag/registration. The new SC title will come in the mail as they don't print these at the DMV offices anymore. That usually takes about 2 weeks. A couple of tips for you: Enter the Treasurer's office building on the left-hand set of doors. The first office on the right is where you get the bill after providing your vehicle information. Exit that room, turn right, and go to the next corner to pay and get your receipt. Edited to add: I'm not sure, but if you aren't ready to pay and are still within the 45-day window, they might be able to give you the estimate there without starting the process. The DMV site has estimated wait times for each office. I recommend not going on a day before a holiday or on the last day of the month. They open at 8:30 M/T/Th/F, and 9:30 Wed. Read through the forms at the link above to make sure you have all the required documentation before you show up. There is a receptionist at each site who will check your ID, ask what you're there for, and check that you have required documents. If you have questions, that person can generally help you figure out if you have everything you need to complete the transaction.
