How it works

Property tax in Horry County is calculated by applying a combined local property tax rate to taxable (assessed) value. The combined rate reflects the sum of millage set by the county, school district, and applicable special districts. Using a rate that matches the property’s location will produce a closer estimate.

Examples

In Horry County, assume a residential parcel is subject to a county levy, a school district levy, and a small special district charge. If the school district increases its levy while the county rate remains unchanged, the total combined rate applied to that parcel increases even though the property’s taxable value does not. This illustrates how district-level levy changes, rather than value alone, can materially affect the estimated annual tax.

Limitations and important notes

This tool is an estimator. It does not determine official assessed value, identify applicable exemptions, or account for classification-based rules or caps that may affect a specific parcel. Combined local rates can vary by location and change over time. Actual tax bills may differ.

FAQs

Is this an official Horry County tax bill amount?

No. This is an estimated property tax based on inputs you provide. Official tax bills depend on certified assessed value and the combined local property tax rate that applies.

What value should I use for taxable or assessed value?

If you know your taxable or assessed value from a recent notice, using that value will produce a closer estimate.

Why can property tax vary within Horry County?

Different areas can be subject to different combinations of county, school, and special district millage, which affects the combined local rate.

Do exemptions affect the estimate?

They can. Qualifying exemptions may reduce taxable value, but this calculator does not apply them automatically.
