For those who live downtown...in the Augusta Road, North Main, Parkins Mills neighborhoods etc. Do you pay both city and county taxes? We've considered moving downtown...but the thought of paying double taxes isn't pleasant. Anyone have any insights?
They would be an order of magnitude lower than you would pay in the Metro DC , VA, MD area. I will pull a number out of my azz and say probably 1/3rd (If County & City) what you are paying up there if it is your primary residence qualifying for the homestead exclusion.
I pay only county property tax but it is 1/5 what I paid for a similar valued property in the Northeast.
Well that's good to know should we relocate down there, which is a distinct possibility. But of course, it's all relative. I'm sure the paybase down there is also a 1/3 of up here.

Almost identical unless you are talking about Federal Gubmint jobs .
Pick a street name then go to this site; choose a property, copy the MAP # and then click on "For Property Tax Information", choose Real Estate and paste that MAP # in the box.
You can see from these listings, you are likely to get more house than you would where you live now for that $275,000.
Keep in mind, these taxes levels are based on owner occupied dwellings.
Shadetree930, you shouldn't mislead people without first checking the data.
