Real property owners have until January 15, 2025, to pay their owed property tax. Property tax bills were sent in October 2024. October is the general annual property tax mailing for Horry County Government.
Real property consists of your owned home or brick-and-mortar business location.
Property owners can check their tax bills through the online tax payment portal by selecting 'Pay Online' here.
Please note, your mortgage company may make the payment to the County before the January due date. Please reach out to your loan or mortgage company for any questions about that process.
Homeowners, if you live in your property full time, remember to apply for the 'legal residence' or homestead exemptions as soon as you acquire the property. You do not need to reapply if you already qualify for the property you currently live at. You can learn more about the exemptions here.
(Note: The Assessor's Office handles legal residence exemptions. The Auditor's Office handles homestead exemptions.)
Veterans can apply for particular exemptions at the state level through SCDOR.
