Senate panel backs income tied property tax relief plan
South Carolina senators tentatively approved a plan tying property tax relief to homeowner income. The outline would cut owner occupied home taxes by about 200 million statewide and add up to 100 million more based on income, funded by a half cent sales tax increase. The plan scales relief so lower income homeowners get more, with refunds to cover tax amounts above 2 percent of household income.
