What evidence actually wins a Johns Island property tax appeal?

Recent comparable sales of similar Johns Island properties, ideally close in location, size, age and lot type to the property being appealed, are the strongest evidence in a property tax appeal. A comparable that sold well before or long after the assessment date, or one with a very different lot size or improvements, carries much less weight with a county assessor. Photos documenting condition issues that would lower value, such as deferred maintenance, can also support the case. Brian Beatty can pull that kind of tightly matched comparable sales data for a specific Johns Island property.
