Can you stack multiple property tax exemptions in James Island?

Whether multiple property tax exemptions can be combined on a James Island home depends on the specific exemptions involved, since some, like the legal residence classification and the school operating exemption, work together while others are mutually exclusive by design. The Charleston County auditor's office makes the final call on which combinations are allowed for a specific property and ownership situation. A homeowner should apply for every exemption they might qualify for and let the auditor's office sort out which ones actually stack. Brian Beatty can point a James Island homeowner to that office to sort out their specific situation.
