Property Taxes
Property Taxes
Property taxes in North Carolina’s Brunswick County are the same for Residents and Non-Residents, but in South Carolina’s Horry County there is a big difference with Residents paying much less than Non-Residents. To be classified as a Resident you must go to one of the County offices, complete a form, and provide proof according to requirements. (No matter how long you have lived in Horry County, if you purchase a new residence you must complete the Resident form to receive the lower tax rate).

The average dailey high temperature in the winter is in the 50s. We did experience colder than normal during 2009 and 2010 but the cold days come and go. Example: February 23, 2010 it was 63°
When you think about making a purchase in the coastal Carolina’s the weather may be the determining factor. Semi-tropical but with an actual four season climate make this place perfect. With years between a dusting of snow that melts in a blink of your eye, the Winter season that requires looking for a jacket is gone in a few weeks. Spring, in all its blooming glory, is here for several months. It gets hot in the Summer, but no worse then the summers of the northeastern US the difference is we can go to the ocean.
