Aiken County Real Estate Taxes

Are you NEW Homeowner? Or Even an existing homeowner in Aiken county…. you should have received one of these. An Aiken County Real Estate Tax bill for this year-2019.

Did you happen to SELL a property this year and get a tax bill for the property you SOLD? LUCKY YOU. YOU get to put that bill in an envelope, addressed to the new owners or you send it to the attorney who did your real estate settlement to make sure the new owners get that bill.

Welcome back to Real TRENDS and Tips for Homeowners, Sellers and Buyers. HI, I’m Vikki Crossland with Meybohm Real Estate and this is my real estate partner Brandi Cook. Aiken County real estate tax bills always come out in the late summer, early fall and if you live within the Aiken City limits you will receive a separate City tax bill notice from the City. If you have not received your bill, YOU need to check with the County and City Tax Assessor.

N. Augusta city has a separate city tax bill, which comes out at a little different time and is due in May.

Today… we want make sure you are taking advantage of all the options available to have the lowest real estate tax bill possible.
If you are SC residence and this is your primary residence make sure your bill reflects the 4% assessment rate NOT 6%. If you have not claimed your home as your legal residence your bill can be over 2 times higher. That’s a lot of money.

To obtain this lower rate you need to complete an application with the Aiken County Assessor and it must be filed before the end of this tax year. Do this immediately, to get the benefits of the 4% assessment and other potential tax savings.

Do not delay on this… even on a home assessed for $100,000 the savings could be over $1,000.
