Allendale among South Carolina's highest rates
At 0.880%, Allendale's effective tax rate is 62% higher than South Carolina's state average of 0.542%, ranking it among the most heavily taxed counties in the state. Despite the high rate, the median tax bill of $542 remains below the state median of $939 due to lower home values.
Significantly higher than surrounding counties
Allendale's 0.880% rate far exceeds Bamberg (0.829%), Barnwell (0.738%), and Aiken (0.432%), making it the highest-taxed county in its region. The disparity suggests Allendale relies more heavily on property tax revenue relative to its tax base.
Low dollar taxes, high effective rate
