In 2025, Greer, South Carolina, features relatively favorable property tax rates compared to national averages. The median effective property tax rate in Greer is approximately 0.70% in Greenville County and about 0.80% in Spartanburg County portions of the city, both lower than the national median rate of around 1.02%. The median home value is roughly $208,000 in Greenville County and $191,600 in Spartanburg County, with median annual property tax bills ranging from approximately $1,690 to $1,885 depending on the county, well below the national median tax bill of $2,400.
Greer’s City Council approved a $58.5 million budget for fiscal year 2025-2026 that includes a 2-mill reduction in property tax rates, lowering the city’s total millage rate to 111.0 mills. This millage decrease aims to provide tax relief to residents while reflecting a 15% increase in the city’s assessed property values, which has helped increase revenue despite the rate cut. Property taxes are calculated based on the assessed value of the property (often lower than market value due to exemptions like homestead or senior exemptions) multiplied by the millage rate. Tax bills vary within Greer by zip code and property value, with a range from around $1,200 to over $3,000 for higher-valued homes.
Homeowners are advised to consider available exemptions and consult local tax authorities or resources to optimize savings and ensure accurate tax bill projections.
