Does South Carolina have a homestead exemption for homeowners?

In Louisiana each homeowner gets a $75,000 homestead exemption from taxes on his home. It only applies to an owner occupied dwelling.

So, for example, if my house is assessed a fair market value of $200,000, the assessor first subtracts $75,000 from that value which drops the FMV assessed amount to $125,000. Then that value is assessed at 10%, so the taxable value is $12,500 times the number of mills in that jurisdiction.

The homestead exemption does not apply to rental homes or any other commercial property. So they pay the full FMV X 10% X millage with no exemption.

Only for certain people, like the elderly and disabled.

And some taxes are not applicable to the homestead exemption. Which makes the EBR rate sheet look like hieroglyphics.
