What is Moncks Corner's new second-home tax?

Moncks Corner does not have its own separate second-home tax; South Carolina statewide assesses a second home or investment property at a different, higher ratio than an owner-occupied primary residence, which functions like a real difference in tax burden without being a distinct new municipal tax. That classification applies the same way whether the second home sits in Moncks Corner or anywhere else in the state. A homeowner unsure which classification applies to their property should confirm it with the Berkeley County assessor's office. Brian Beatty can help a Moncks Corner owner check their current classification before assuming a new tax applies.
