Panel considers property tax relief options in South Carolina
A Senate subcommittee in Columbia weighs remedies to ease homeowner pressure from rising property taxes, noting any cut requires funding from other taxes. Proposals include eliminating property tax with higher sales or cigarette taxes, capping assessment increases, or restricting tax use to certain services. Some ideas shift tax burden among counties instead of lowering overall bills.
