Homeowners who believe their Folly Beach home is over-assessed have the right to file a appeal directly with Charleston County Assessor before the 90 days from notice deadline.

Folly Beach Property Market Context
The property tax picture in Folly Beach is shaped as much by South Carolina statewide policy as by anything unique to a city.
South Carolina market character
South Carolina caps increases from reassessment at 15% over five years, and residential owner-occupied property is assessed at 4% of fair market value. Coastal and upstate markets have appreciated rapidly, producing plenty of over-assessments despite the cap.
How South Carolina handles appeals
South Carolina homeowners appeal to the county assessor, then the county Board of Assessment Appeals, then the Administrative Law Court. The state runs a clear process.
When to file in Folly Beach
Objections must be filed within 90 days of the assessment notice. Reassessment years produce the heaviest filings.
