Horry County is currently doing a reassessment of home values. Today we'll talk about what you need to know about the process and what it might mean for you. There's a chance an assessor may increase the value of your property this year. If this happens, you'll get a letter in late August letting you know that your property taxes are going to increase based on that value. If your home goes down in value, you won't get any notification at all.

Even if your home is assessed and there is no change in taxable value, you may receive a letter a letter informing you of a higher tax bill because others properties around you decreased in taxable value. This redistribution of the tax burden may hurt your wallet even if your home hasn't gained value. 

Luckily, there is something you can do about it. If you don't want to pay more money for the same home value or if you think that the assessment of your property was unfair, you can take steps to dispute itClick here to see how you can question the value of your home and find out exactly what you need to do to successfully challenge it. As always, you can come to us with any questions about the reassessment for expert advice on how to handle it. We would love to help you out.
