| PropertyTax |
PROPERTY TAX
Real and personal property used in business are subject to property
taxes levied by local governments. Although property tax is collected locally, the
Department generally oversees property tax collections to ensure equitable and
uniform assessment throughout the State. There is no state or local tax on
intangibles or inventories.
The calculation of property taxes involves the following three elements:
1. Valuation: Real property (other than agricultural use property and property
subject to a negotiated fee in lieu of taxes) is appraised to determine fair market
value. Personal property of manufacturers is valued at cost from which a fixed
depreciation percentage is deducted each year until a residual value is reached.
Personal property of merchants is valued at cost from which income tax
depreciation is deducted each year until a residual value is reached.
2. Assessment Ratio: The assessment ratio, established in the State Constitution to
ensure stability, is 10.5% for manufacturing property and 6% for commercial
real property. Commercial personal property is assessed at 10.5%. The valuation
is multiplied by this ratio to produce the “assessed value” of a particular piece of
businesses which invest $2,500,000 or more can enter into a fee in lieu of
property taxes which can reduce a 10.5% assessment ratio to 6% for 20 years
and eliminate inflationary increases in the value of real property for that period.
Very large investments can qualify for a 4% assessment ratio for 30 years with
no increase in the value of real property for that period.
3. Millage: Each taxing jurisdiction determines on an annual basis the number of
mills required to apply to the total assessed value of property subject to taxation
within its jurisdiction in order to raise the money it needs to operate for the next
year. (Each jurisdiction also takes other sources of revenue into account in
making this determination.) The 2005 average millage rate in South Carolina is
289 mills.
For example, if a manufacturer owned a piece of property with a value of $100 and
an assessment ratio of 10.5% (the ratio for manufacturing property in the absence
of a fee in lieu of property taxes agreement), the assessed value of that property
equals $10.50 ($100 x 10.5%). If the taxing jurisdiction decided in a particular year
to levy a tax of 289 mills, then the property tax liability of the owner would be
$3.03 ($10.50 x .289).
