Do you have a second home on Hilton Head that you do not rent?
In January many second homeowners received a personal property tax bill from Beaufort County. If your home continues to be a second home and is not on the rental market, you may have been charged in error. Please look back to see if you received a personal property tax bill in the last month from Beaufort County, and contact them if this was an error. If you have paid the bill, you will be reimbursed.
Do you have a rental home on Hilton Head?
If your home is on the rental market, you are to be charged a personal property tax, however it should be based on the value of the furniture. Because of a new internal system in the County, a Rental Residential Return questionnaire did not get sent to all six-percent residential property owners prior to the tax bill, and a formula based on the building value of your home was used. The amount charged, may not have truly reflected the value of your furnishings.
You may contact the Beaufort County Auditors office with your questions and inquires at:

2010 was a good year for long term rentals with increased demand. This was due in part as a result of the economy with people not qualifying for home mortgages and people losing homes to short sales or foreclosure. Another factor that helped with the demand for rentals were people who owned a home and sold their home, lost their equity due to the devaluing of the property and no longer have the funds to purchase another home.

Are you a thermostat or a thermometer?
In case you missed it, The Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors invited us to speak on the topic “Sales Up, Rentals Up, Are you up” with Johnny Ussery. Together we presented the ways and reasons that we keep ourselves motivated and enthusiastic about selling Hilton Head Real Estate. I could not believe I was on the same ticket as Johnny Ussery. Not only is Johnny one of the most inspirational speakers on real estate in the country, his words match his passion perfectly. He has succesfully coached salespeople in the sell out of many communities. He inspires and moves agents into the market with a positive expectant attitude even when faced with challenge.
