Georgetown County Assessor vs. an Independent Appraiser
Looking for the Georgetown County Assessor? The Assessor’s office sets the value your property taxes are based on. You’ll find it on the Georgetown County website. For What It’s Worth Appraisals is an independent, state-certified appraisal firm. We don’t work for the county. When an assessed value looks too high, a certified appraisal is the strongest evidence an owner can bring to the Assessor or the Board of Assessment Appeals.
Appealing a 2026 Georgetown County assessment
Georgetown County last reassessed in 2025. If you didn’t receive an assessment notice for 2026, South Carolina law gives you until January 15, 2027 to file a written objection with the Assessor. If you did receive a notice, you have 90 days from its date. Commercial, rental and second-home properties are assessed at 6%, compared with 4% for a primary residence, so the same overvaluation costs a commercial owner at least 50% more in tax. We prepare USPAP-compliant appraisals for property tax appeals on office, retail, industrial, multifamily, hospitality and land in Georgetown, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island and Andrews.

- – Exterior Condition: The appraiser will assess the overall condition of the exterior of your house, including its structural integrity, maintenance, and curb appeal.
- – Construction Type: The appraiser will identify whether your home is modular construction or stick built, as this can impact its value.

Georgetown County Appraisal FAQs
Are you the Georgetown County property appraiser?
No. The Georgetown County Assessor’s Office sets the values your property taxes are based on, you can reach it through the county website, gtcountysc.gov. For What It’s Worth Appraisals is an independent, state-certified appraisal firm. Owners, lenders and attorneys hire us when they need a market value that stands on its own, including when they want to challenge the county’s number.
Can an independent appraisal lower my Georgetown County property taxes?
It can when the county’s value is higher than what your property would actually sell for. A certified appraisal is the strongest evidence you can attach to an objection, because it documents market value with comparable sales and, for commercial property, income data. The Assessor and the Board of Assessment Appeals make the decision, so no appraiser can guarantee a reduction.
What is the deadline to appeal a Georgetown County property assessment?
If you received an assessment notice, you have 90 days from the date on the notice. If you didn’t receive one for 2026, your written objection is due by January 15, 2027. Georgetown County accepts appeals in person or by mail, but not by fax or email. Confirm the current deadline with the Assessor’s Office before filing.

How much does a commercial appraisal cost in Georgetown County?
It depends on the property type, its size, and how much income and market analysis the assignment needs. A small retail building or a vacant parcel costs less than an apartment complex or a hotel. Call (843) 808-1533 with the address and the purpose of the appraisal, and we’ll give you a firm quote and turnaround before any work begins.
Who will appraise my commercial property?
Commercial assignments are handled by our state-certified appraisers, including an MAI-designated appraiser. MAI is the Appraisal Institute’s designation, widely recognized by lenders, attorneys and courts for commercial valuation. Our reports follow USPAP, the national appraisal standards, so they hold up when a lender, a judge or the Board of Assessment Appeals reviews them.
Get My Commercial Property Value
Is a Zillow estimate the same as an appraisal?
No. Zillow’s Zestimate and similar tools are automated estimates built from public records and recent sales, and no one inspects the property. Lenders, courts and attorneys rely on a certified appraisal, where a licensed appraiser inspects the property, selects comparable sales and documents the value in a signed report. It’s also the strongest evidence you can attach to a Georgetown County assessment appeal.
Do you have an office in Georgetown?
Our office is in Myrtle Beach, at 1045 London Street, just up US-17 from Georgetown. Our appraisers travel throughout Georgetown County, including Georgetown, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Litchfield and Andrews, for on-site inspections. Most appointments are scheduled within 3–5 business days, and reports are typically delivered 2–5 business days after the inspection.
