Are property taxes on Johns Island higher or lower than the national average?

Comparing Johns Island property taxes to a national average is not very useful, since South Carolina assesses and taxes property differently than most other states, using an assessment ratio system that does not translate cleanly into a single comparable number. A more useful comparison looks at the actual current tax bill on a specific Johns Island home against similar local properties, not a national statistic. County and city millage rates, which change annually, also mean the real number shifts from year to year regardless of any national trend.
