What is the deal on personal property taxes on Cobras in SC?
I'm going to there soon.
Thanks Bruce

Bruce,you will probably have to have the car appraised to acertain the value,to base the tax on. If I am not mistaken,the tax people will set you up with their appraiser. Welcome;chuck smith

Personal property tax here is not a big problem. If you tell them that your car is worth say $2,500.00, they will likely tax you accordingly. They won't want to see your car and they won't need any proof. It will help if your car is registered as a 65 or so, but they are usually pretty reasonable if you explain that your car is "homebuilt" or a kit. My Unique 289-FIA was taxed as a 64 ford--paid about $25.0o0 per year--much less than my current 2002 Porsche twin turbo!

Good luck!

Bruce,

My car came from florida (registered as 65 cobra), and all
I did was go to county tax assessor and transfer title to SC.
I paid $ 18.+\- total. yep, thats eighteen dollars. Then I went
to SC dept of transportation, and got vanity tag for $30., plus regular charge of about $20. Painless....

It will all depend on how you have it registered now.

Good luck
