My property taxes in SC are going from $2,680 to $8,680

I'm in the USAF and purchased a home while stationed in SC in 2013.  We moved to OK in 2017 and decided to rent out the home instead of selling it, because we may move back in a few years.  Earlier this year I received a letter in the mail from Richland County, SC stating that we no longer qualify for the 4% assessment rate and we will now be assessed at the 6% rate, because you must own and occupy the home, which resulted in a tax increase of $6k a year.  Does anyone know of a way around this rule to get back to 4% assessment?  We are currently trying to sell the home and it is vacant.  Any advice?
