The next series of post will be about the numbers. Numbers like appreciation, taxes, insurance, principle and interest, and price per square foot. I often am asked "What are the typical property taxes in Greenville County". There are many individual tax districts, but you can estimate your annual property taxes at appoximately $600 per $100,000 of assessed value when calculating your payment. The Tax Assessor calculates the assessed value of your home, usually from 75% to 85% of the fair market value, but that number can be wildly inaccurate from time to time. There is a process of contesting the number if it is higher than fair market value, if it's lower than fair market value then you accept it. You can learn more about taxes at the county's web site http://www.greenvillecounty.org/County_Auditor/ or you can email me and I'll be happy to provide more details.
