  • Reached the age of 65 on or before December 31, 2022, (SC DL will be proof of age) or was notified by a federal agency that you are 100% disabled by December 31, 2022. Must present Medicare card or letter of approval at location or office.
  • Must had a vehicle registered in Lancaster County by December 31, 2021, to current.
  • Have legal residence on your home with the Lancaster County Assessor’s Office.
  • If you moved within SC from another county, you qualify on your home here if the home in Lancaster County is now your legal residence with the Assessor’s office.
  • If your home is a new construction, you will apply for homestead the year after you receive your CO (Certificate of Occupancy). You will still have to meet the above qualifications.

**Homestead Exemption takes off the first $50,000 of your homes assessed value each year.
