If you are a resident of GreenvilleCounty and the home you own and occupy is your primary legal residence, you may be eligible to file for a special assessment ratio that will reduce your taxes. Mobile homes also qualify. An application must be filed with the Assessor before the first penalty date (generally January 15th) for taxes due.
· Greenvillepropertytaxes don’t have to be confusing, and they definitely don’t have to drain your wallet. So when those reassessment notices land in your mailbox this September, take a hard look. Then, before January 15 rolls around, apply for your HomeownersExemption.
Apply online for a Property Tax exemption on real or personal property as an individual or organization. Once you have applied, you can check the status of your application and view the status for previous exemption applications.
Timeline: By law you have until 12/31 of the year you close to file this, but tax rolls close on 10/1 - so we STRONGLY recommend you go prior to 10/1 of the year in which you close on your home. If your closing falls after 10/1, go to the County Courthouse as quickly as you are able after closing.
· Useful tools like the Real Property Tax Estimator provided by GreenvilleCounty can help residents calculate their property tax obligations for the year 2025 based on the current millage rates and assessed values.
