I was hoping someone more knowledgeable would give a detailed answer (so I wouldn't have to figure it out), but this explains what you're looking for pretty well:

In addition, there seems to be an exemption per the SC tax website:
Quote:
The first $100,000 in fair market value of a primary residence is exempt from school operating costs.
Some examples of how this property tax relief benefits taxpayers: Based most recent property tax rates, a $100,000 home in the city of Greenville would be taxed at $1,186. With the exemption, the homeowner would see a savings of $581, for a lower tax bill of $605. In the city of Columbia, without property tax relief, the tax on a $100,000 home would be $1,418. After tax relief, the property tax is reduced to $867, a savings of $551. The property tax relief will vary among school districts depending upon the millage for school operating costs.
If you have established one-year residency and you are 65 or older, you are eligible for a homestead exemption of $20,000. For the same home in the city of Columbia calculated previously, the homestead exemption would offer an additional savings of $173, for a total tax of $694 on a $100,000 home.
The assessment ratio on a second home or vacation home is 6%. The property tax relief does not apply to a second home.
Greenville city taxes will be in addition to county taxes, and from my experience elsewhere usually double the taxes.
It all depends on where you live - I live in Greenville County (not inside any city).
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee - tax in 2010 was $167.32. You pay the vehicle tax when you register it and then every twelve months from the date of first payment.
Home is $175,000 - property tax is less than $1,100
Are there any other fees/taxes (not including HOA) that get added to the value of the home? i.e., school taxes etc?
The figures I provided were all-inclusive, inc. school taxes.
