For: Veteran or service member, spouse, survivor.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Anderson County, SCCounty

The exemptions are the State's, under section 12-37-220; the South Carolina entries explain the home and vehicle exemptions and the Department of Revenue's PT-401I with the county veterans' affairs officer's certificate. The Anderson County Auditor "Administers the Homestead and Veterans' Exemptions", and its page says: "A Military veteran who is totally and permanently disabled from a service related cause is also exempt from property tax. (Home and one acre of land that the home sits on and up to two vehicles.)" The Assessor's page lists a "Property Exemptions for Veterans" form and repeats the one acre. Where that is narrower than the law. The disabled veteran exemption's definition of "house" reaches the dwelling and the lot classified as the owner's legal residence, up to five contiguous acres under section 12-43-220(c); see the South Carolina entry. The Veterans Affairs Office (864-260-4036) signs the certificate.
