Can you fight a Meggett property tax assessment increase?

Fighting a Meggett property tax assessment increase starts with a written appeal to the Charleston County assessor's office, backed by recent comparable sales showing the new value does not match actual market activity. An increase driven purely by a higher millage rate rather than a higher assessed value is not something an appeal can change, since an appeal only addresses the assessed value. Knowing which part of the bill actually increased is the first step before deciding to appeal. Brian Beatty can help a Meggett homeowner sort that out and gather evidence.
