Beaufort County officials mull ways to fix school funding issues | Bluffton Today.

Hilton Head Island, SC – Many Hilton Head property owners have called or emailed recently for comparables because of their recent Beaufort County Reassessment.  If you would like a list of applicable comparable properties, please email me at Robbie@robbiebunting.com .   Below is an email we received recently.  Just let us know if you would like some help.  It is very easy for us to gather this information for you if it is available.  Thank you.

• “We received out countywide reassessment for property tax and want to appeal it. They have assessed the home at $XXX,XXX for tax purposes. As part of the appeal, we have to send in comparables.   Are you able to send some along for us to use?  Thanks so much!”

Robbie:

A lot of people came away from a recent article about an adjustment to the School District’s tax mill rate with the idea that their tax bill, when compared to last year’s tax bill, was going up.  THAT IS NOT CORRECT.

The complexity and nuances of public education funding makes it real easy for the average person to arrive at an erroneous conclusion.

I did a presentation to the Chamber of Commerce’s Government Affairs Committee and used a hand-out that I thought you might find useful.  It explains what really happened and why, on average, your taxes did not go up. Click on the underlined link to read more: BCSD – Tale of Two Taxes
