North Charleston property taxes in 2025 reflect a countywide reassessment process occurring every five years in Charleston County, including North Charleston, to align property values with current market conditions. Due to rising real estate values, many properties have higher assessed values, but South Carolina law caps taxable value increases to 15% over five years for most properties to protect homeowners from large immediate tax hikes.​
Key Points About North Charleston Property Taxes in 2025:
Assessment and Tax Rate: Property tax bills are based on the assessed market value multiplied by the local tax rate, with North Charleston’s effective property tax rate around 0.99%, slightly below national median rates but above the South Carolina average.​
Median Tax Bill: Median North Charleston property tax bills are about $637, ranging from around $414 at the 10th percentile up to $3,652 at the 90th percentile, depending on property value and ZIP code (e.g., 29405, 29406).​
Payment Deadlines: The property tax payment deadline is January 15, 2025, for real estate taxes, with extended office hours for payments at North Charleston Treasurer’s office and other locations shortly before the deadline.​
Tax Credits and Relief: Homeowners may qualify for property tax relief programs, including credits from the County and City, which reduce total tax burdens. For example, property tax relief on school board taxes can significantly lower bills for owner-occupied residences.​
Reassessments: The 2025 reassessment updates values based on market trends, with Charleston County’s median home price rising from $415,000 in 2020 to about $710,000 recently, influencing tax adjustments across the area.​
If disputing a tax assessment, Charleston County provides processes through their Assessor’s Office for property owners who believe their valuation is inaccurate.​
