What property tax exemptions are available to Isle of Palms homeowners?

Isle of Palms homeowners who occupy their home as a primary residence get a lower assessed classification than a second home or rental, and a legal residence is also exempt from the portion of the tax bill that funds school operating costs. Additional exemptions exist for certain owners, such as older homeowners, disabled homeowners or legally blind homeowners, though the specific eligibility rules and any exempt amount are set by the state and should be confirmed with the Charleston County auditor's office. These exemptions require an application rather than applying automatically. Brian Beatty can point an Isle of Palms homeowner to that office to check which exemptions actually apply.
