What Lancaster County actually asks us
Two-state filing is the default here rather than the exception, and the order the two returns are prepared in changes the result.
Lancaster County is a mid-sized county in the Midlands, and the work reflects that rather than a standard menu: returns and planning for the people and businesses that are actually here, with bookkeeping where the books are the thing holding the return back.

Property tax, in one paragraph
South Carolina assesses an owner-occupied legal residence at 4% of value and most other real property at 6%. The gap is wide, the 4% ratio is not automatic, and it has to be applied for on the property that qualifies.
South Carolina also exempts the first $50,000 of a legal residence’s fair market value from property tax for owners aged 65 or over, totally and permanently disabled, or legally blind. It is claimed through Lancaster rather than on the income tax return, and it is a separate thing from the 4% ratio — the two are routinely confused for one another.
How this works at a distance
The office is in Charleston. Documents move through the secure portal rather than email, review happens by video, and we will say plainly when something needs someone local to Lancaster — a county assessor appeal being the obvious case — or a specialist rather than a generalist.
