This week on The Bethune Rollison Show we discussed the 2010 Tax Assessment and how people in Myrtle Beach can appeal their property taxes.  At issue is really was the county right in their higher assessment of most property values, when we know they used computer models and very little on-site inspection.  Plus, market values are not where they were in 2008 and most owners reckon that was the valuation used for the new assessment.

Brown explained that the County was going to get the money they required to continue providing services no matter what.  Whether by raising property value or by raising millage, the numbers were going to add up in their favor.

However, each owner can appeal.  You have only 90 days from when your letter arrived – on or about October 1.  So… hop to it, if you’re going to appeal – you have until the end of the year.

Can you appeal on your own?  Yes, absolutely, said Jeremy – so long as you have correct data.  It is a really good idea to get a “Broker Price Opinion” to take with you.  It adds credibility and provides the evidence required to substantiate your claim of value.

The Deal of the Week had 2 options:-

1. Cypress Industrial Park on 544 at the end of Highway 31 in Socastee,
2. Cypress Bay Golf Course in Little River, SC
