How it works

Property tax in Lexington County is calculated by determining a property’s market value and applying the assessment ratio required under South Carolina law to arrive at assessed value. Local taxing authorities publish millage rates by tax district, which are aggregated into a combined local rate. The assessed value is multiplied by this combined rate to estimate annual property tax before credits or relief.

Examples

Two properties with the same market value can have different estimated taxes if they are assigned to different tax districts within Lexington County. Differences in assessment ratios by property class or in district millage rates affect the combined rate applied.

Limitations and important notes

This calculation offers an approximate projection of property tax based on the inputs provided. Lexington County does not apply a single uniform millage rate, and the correct combined rate depends on the parcel’s tax district and the applicable tax year. Assessment ratios vary by property class, and exemptions, credits, relief programs, or special agreements are not deterministically modeled. Actual tax bills may differ from this estimate.
