Do I owe Charleston taxes if I have already moved out of state?

Property tax obligations in Charleston follow ownership of the real estate, not the owner's residency, so owning a Charleston property after moving out of state still means the annual bill is owed until the property is sold or ownership changes. State income tax residency after a move is a separate question with its own rules, best confirmed with a CPA rather than assumed from the property tax situation. The county still mails the tax notice to whatever address is on file, so keeping that updated matters after a move. Brian Beatty can help a former Charleston owner confirm their current tax status.
