Why Buyers Move to the SC Side: Taxes
| North Carolina (Mecklenburg Co.) | South Carolina (York Co. / Fort Mill) | |
|---|---|---|
| Property tax (effective rate) | ~0.79% | ~0.71% |
| State income tax | 3.99% flat | ~1.99% under $30K taxable income, ~5.21% above |
| Sales tax | ~7.25% | ~7.00% |
Essentially, South Carolina’s property tax advantage mainly comes from assessing owner-occupied homes at 4% of market value, versus North Carolina’s 100% assessment, combined with a state-funded school operating exemption. As a result, York County generally runs a lower effective property tax rate than Mecklenburg County, and South Carolina’s income tax brackets start much lower for modest incomes. Of course, these figures shift with legislation, so it’s worth confirming current numbers with a tax professional before relying on them.
