On a $400,000 purchase in Lexington County, SC, property tax comes to about $1,708 a year — roughly $142 a month — at this county's effective rate of 0.43%.
$
Effective rate 0.43% = this county's median owner-occupied tax bill ($1,083, ACS 2022 5-year estimate) divided by the typical home value at the time ($253,898, Zillow, 2022-12-31). Exemptions the seller holds — homestead, senior, veteran — usually do not transfer with the deed, so a new purchase can run above this figure. The county assessor sets the assessed value; this is an estimate, not a quote.
