Looking for 2015 Information on Property Taxes for NOO in SC

[Chris Haas]

Interested in Spartanburg, SC and Myrtle Beach Area.
I found some threads on bp about taxes being triple owner occupied and others saying it's 6% instead of 4%.  Can someone that actually knows set me straight ?

Hard to run numbers without such a critical piece.

yes, it's true. SC owner occupied property is taxed at 4% and in addition there are several discounts given which makes SC owner occupied property taxes really low.  However, rent that same property and you lose the discounts and the rate jumps to 6%, which ends up being about 3x the owner occupied rate.
