The last I read, Scotland County had the highest county property tax rate in the state - 1.0600 per $100 of value. Long, hot summers too on the average.

Default Tax Rates

Given all of this... Does anyone know of any rental houses in the Laurinburg, Pembroke and Lumberton areas? I'm currently looking for a house to rent that accepts dogs. Hard to do from almost 800 miles away.

Not sure what you mean regarding handicapped/special population. St. Andrews Presbyterian College was, at one time, one of the most handicapped-friendly campuses in the nation. They've had to cut back many programs and services in recent years, but they did a lot of cutting edge things to accommodate the physically disabled. Because of this, the town of Laurinburg became much more accepting and understanding regarding physical disabilities, and did a lot of things to make the town more accessible for the disabled students. They also had Special Olympics there at one time--are they not doing that anymore?

The point is, overall I think Laurinburg is much more supportive of the handicapped/special population than other small southern towns of similar size. What is it that you're missing?
