City and county property taxes on real estate are taxed at the rate of 4% on primary residences, 6% on secondary residences. Each mill represents $1 in taxation per every $1,000 of a property's assessment. Property owners in Horry and Georgetown counties will pay tax based on the county millage rate, while those who own property in incorporated communities may pay tax based both on the county millage rate and the municipal millage rate charged to maintain city services.
The following is an example of the yearly taxes on a $100,000 primary home in Surfside Beach:
$100,000 x 4% = $4,000
$4,000 x .1758 = $703.20 (Horry County)
$4,000 x .0412 = $242 (City Tax)
Total Tax = $945.20 for the year
**If this were a secondary home taxes would be higher**
