How do I appeal my property tax assessment on James Island?

A James Island property tax assessment gets appealed through a written objection sent to the Charleston County assessor, due before the deadline printed on the assessment notice itself, not by contacting the state. The appeal should include recent comparable sales or other evidence showing the assessed value does not match the home's actual market value. If the assessor's office does not resolve it, the appeal can escalate to the county Board of Assessment Appeals for further review. Brian Beatty can pull the comparable sales evidence a James Island homeowner needs to support that appeal.
