Richland County, South Carolina • 2026 Property Guide
Search Columbia-Area Property Values, TMS Parcels, GIS Maps and Tax Bills
Richland County property research begins with Assessor Fred Descy, whose office values and lists real property, maintains ownership and tax-map records, handles Legal Residence and agricultural applications, processes assessment appeals and produces the annual certified assessment roll.
South Carolina splits the tax workflow across multiple offices. The Assessor sets the property value, Auditor Paul Brawley calculates the tax using the applicable assessment ratio and millage, and Treasurer Kendra L. Dove collects the bill. This guide connects all three systems with GIS, Register of Deeds records, the 4% Legal Residence classification, $50,000 Homestead Exemption, ATI relief, reassessment limits and the 90-day appeal process.

What Richland County Property Owners Should Know Right Now
2026 is between Richland County’s five-year countywide reassessments.
The most recent reassessment cycle was completed in 2024, with the next regular countywide cycle scheduled for 2029. Individual parcels can still change because of new construction, property changes, an Assessable Transfer of Interest, corrections or other statutory events.
2026 millage is not final yet
Richland’s tax estimator notes that millage information updates in the fall. Do not treat an August estimate as the final 2026 tax bill.
2025 payment-plan deadline is approaching
Taxpayers using Richland County’s current planned-payment program must finish the 2025 property-tax bill by September 30, 2026.
2026 tax notices come later
The County generally prepares real-estate tax bills late in the year. The 2026 bill will be payable into January 2027.
Best August task:
save your current TMS number, check the property value, owner-occupied classification, land/building facts and tax district now. When the 2026 bill becomes available, you can compare it against the assessment record without starting the search again.
Which Richland County Office Handles Your Property Question?
Assessor
Fair market value, real-property inventory, ownership records, TMS data, Legal Residence, agricultural use, ATI relief, mobile homes and assessment appeals.
Auditor
Applies assessment ratios and millage, prepares tax notices, handles the age/disability/blind Homestead Exemption and business personal-property matters.
Treasurer
Collects real-estate taxes, issues receipts, handles payment plans, delinquent accounts and the annual tax-sale process.
Register of Deeds
Deeds, mortgages, plats, easements, satisfactions, liens, UCC real-estate records and certified recorded copies.
Do not send a valuation dispute to the Treasurer.
Think the property is overvalued? Contact the Assessor. Think the millage or tax calculation is wrong? Start with the Auditor. Need to pay or resolve delinquency? Contact the Treasurer.
Different state, different structure:
South Carolina’s Assessor–Auditor–Treasurer chain differs from Florida’s Property Appraiser/Tax Collector model. For comparison, see our Pasco County Property Appraiser guide.
Choose the Richland County Property Task You Need
Find a parcel
Search by TMS/tax-map number, street address or owner using the County property-search tools.
Check a value
Review market value, taxable value, land value, building value and assessment classification.
Estimate taxes
Use the Assessor tax estimator, but remember millage updates in the fall and estimates are not bills.
Pay property tax
Move to Treasurer Tax Information for the real-estate tax notice and current payment status.
Apply for tax relief
Separate Legal Residence, Homestead, agricultural use and ATI programs before choosing the application.
Research title
Use Register of Deeds records for deeds, mortgages, liens, easements and plats.
Richland County Property Search Navigation
How to Search Richland County Assessor Property Records
Richland County’s current property-search service is designed to locate property by tax-map number, address or owner. GIS tools can then add mapped parcel, zoning, environmental and neighborhood context.
Tax Map Number
Best choice when you already have a tax notice, deed, appraisal or prior County record.
Street Address
Good starting point for a known residence, commercial building or vacant parcel with a situs address.
Owner
Useful when researching multiple parcels associated with an individual, trust or business.
Open the County Property Search.
Start with the official Richland County Property Search.
Use TMS first when available.
A tax-map number is safer than relying only on a common owner name or similar street address.
If using an address, confirm municipality and tax district.
Richland County includes Columbia and several municipal/tax-district combinations.
Verify owner and property characteristics.
Check land/building values, last sale, year built and owner-occupied status.
Open GIS for spatial context.
Use the TMS to connect the property record to parcel, zoning, flood, wetland, school and other map layers.
Save the TMS.
It is the most useful bridge between Assessor, GIS, Treasurer and Register of Deeds systems.
What Is a Richland County TMS Number?
The Tax Map System number identifies a parcel and links ownership information to the mapped property location. Richland County’s online applications use the term Tax Map Number or TMS.
Real estate
County application examples show ordinary real-estate TMS numbers beginning with R.
Mobile home
Assessor applications identify mobile-home accounts with an M900 prefix.
Use it everywhere
TMS can help with tax searches, GIS maps, mailing-address changes, exemption applications, appeals and deed research.
Example format:
County applications show real-estate examples similar to Rxxxxx-xx-xx. Enter the actual TMS shown for your parcel rather than attempting to construct one yourself.
Richland County Property Record Decoder
TMS / Parcel
Unique tax-map identifier connecting ownership and mapped location.
Owner
Current assessment ownership record. Use Register of Deeds when legal title matters.
Market Value
County appraisal of the property’s fair market value under South Carolina assessment rules.
Taxable Value
Value used within the tax calculation after statutory value limitations or exemptions where applicable.
Land Value
Assessor’s valuation attributed to the underlying land.
Building Value
Value assigned to improvements on the parcel.
Tax District
Determines which local taxing jurisdictions and millage rates apply.
Assessment Ratio
Common real-property categories include 4% legal residence and 6% commercial/non-owner-occupied property.
Last Sale
Useful for transfer and Assessable Transfer of Interest research.
Heated Square Feet
GeoInfo can display building-area information used for property comparison.
Year Built
Useful for appraisal comparison, renovation research and due diligence.
Zoning
GIS provides zoning context, but current development approval should be confirmed with Planning.
Use Richland GIS for Parcel, Zoning, Flood, Wetland and District Research
GeoInfo
Search address or Parcel TMS and view owner, beds, baths, heated square feet, year built, tax district and values.
Parcel / zoning
Internet Mapping includes parcels, zoning, subdivisions, municipalities and tax districts.
Environmental layers
Available layers include FEMA flood zones, FEMA FIRM panels, wetlands, soils and watersheds.
2024 Land Development Code warning:
Richland GIS currently warns that zoning information related to the 2024 Land Development Code is being updated and previous zoning designations may display. For development decisions, verify zoning with County Planning.
Map disclaimer:
County GIS says mapped data is for general reference. Do not use a parcel line as a substitute for a recorded plat or boundary survey.
Open Richland Internet Mapping
Turn parcel, zoning, tax-district, FEMA, wetland and other layers on or off for the property you are researching.
How Richland County Property Value Becomes a Tax Bill
Fair Market Value
Assessor determines the real-property value.
The County conducts periodic reassessment plus annual maintenance.
Assessment Ratio
Apply the property’s statutory classification.
Owner-occupied legal residence is generally 4%; many other real properties are 6%.
Assessed / Taxable Amount
Statutory caps or exemptions may change the value used in taxation.
Auditor uses the assessment roll and applicable tax district.
Tax Bill
Millage, credits and applicable charges produce the bill.
Treasurer collects the final notice.
15% is not a tax-bill cap.
Millage, tax districts, school credits, ownership changes, construction and other factors can cause the actual bill to move differently from the reassessment-value limit.
Where 2026 Sits in the Richland County Reassessment Cycle
Reassessment work
County completed its latest five-year reassessment cycle.
New cycle values
Updated reassessment values flowed into the new tax cycle.
Current year
Annual maintenance continues for transfers, permits, additions and corrections.
Interim years
No scheduled full countywide reassessment, but individual values can change.
Next reassessment
Next regular countywide reassessment year.
Value date:
Richland explains that the 2024 reassessment appraisal work was based on market conditions as of December 31, 2023.
Buying after reassessment?
A property sale can trigger an Assessable Transfer of Interest even in a non-reassessment year, so the seller’s taxable value may not represent the purchaser’s later tax value.
Richland County Legal Residence Can Reduce the Ratio From 6% to 4%
Standard non-owner-occupied example
6%
Commercial and non-owner-occupied residential property commonly falls in the 6% category.
LEGAL
RESIDENCE
RESIDENCE
Qualifying primary residence
4%
Legal Residence also receives the school operating tax exemption/credit available to qualifying owner-occupied property.
Documents to prepare before applying
- South Carolina driver license for owner-occupants and spouse
- South Carolina vehicle registration showing the property address
- Social Security Card or Birth Certificate as required
- Most recently filed South Carolina income-tax return
- Federal / prior-state returns when no SC return has been filed
- Trust, POA, LLC or other ownership documentation when applicable
- Military LES and orders when using military provisions
- Correct property address or TMS number
Filing deadline:
Richland says Legal Residence is typically due by the first penalty date of the current year’s tax notice. For a 2026 real-estate tax notice, that generally means acting before the January 2027 penalty period begins.
Do not confuse Legal Residence with South Carolina’s senior Homestead Exemption.
Legal Residence is an Assessor-administered 4% property classification. The $50,000 age/disability/blind Homestead Exemption is administered through the Auditor.
Apply for Richland Legal Residence
Enter the property address or TMS, select the correct parcel and start the encrypted application.
Richland County Homestead Exemption for Age 65, Disability or Blindness
Age qualification
A homeowner can qualify by being age 65 on or before December 31 of the year preceding the application year.
Total permanent disability
Qualifying applicants provide certification from the appropriate state or federal agency.
Tax relief
The South Carolina Homestead program exempts the first $50,000 of qualifying primary-home value from applicable property taxes.
Blindness also qualifies:
Richland accepts certification from a licensed ophthalmologist or the South Carolina Commission for the Blind.
Jointly owned with a spouse?
Richland states that only one spouse needs to satisfy the age requirement when the property is jointly owned by spouses.
Open Richland Auditor Homestead Application
Search by address or TMS and follow the Auditor’s application instructions.
Richland County ATI Exemption: Up to 25% Off the Transfer Value
An Assessable Transfer of Interest can reset real property to a new fair market value after a qualifying transfer. South Carolina provides a special exemption for certain property that is assessed at the 6% ratio.
Property transfers
A qualifying ownership transfer triggers ATI valuation.
Property is 6%
Legal Residence property does not qualify for this particular ATI exemption.
Potential 25% exemption
The statutory exemption can equal up to 25% of ATI fair market value when the required conditions are met.
File on time
Initial application is due before January 31 of the first eligible year, with a 90-day notice-based route in certain cases.
Deadline matters:
Richland states that if the initial January 31 deadline is missed, an owner can apply within 90 days after receiving the reassessment notice for that year. If both opportunities are missed, the exemption generally begins in the next tax year.
Open Richland ATI Exemption Application
Enter the address or TMS, select the property and start the Assessor application.
How to Appeal a Richland County Property Assessment

Richland County Assessor Property Search FAQs
1. How do I search Richland County South Carolina property records?
Use Richland County’s official Property Search to look up real property by tax-map/TMS number, street address or owner. Save the TMS and use it again in GIS, Assessor applications, tax research and Register of Deeds searches.
2. Who is the Richland County Assessor in 2026?
Fred Descy is the Richland County Assessor. He has served as Assessor since March 2022. The office is at 2020 Hampton Street, Suite 2058, Columbia, South Carolina 29204, and the main phone number is 803-576-2640.
3. What is a Richland County TMS number?
TMS means Tax Map System. It is the parcel identifier linking ownership information to the mapped location of the real property. Richland County’s online applications show ordinary real-estate TMS examples beginning with R, while mobile-home account examples begin with M900.
4. What is the 4% Legal Residence assessment in Richland County?
Qualifying owner-occupied primary residences can receive South Carolina’s 4% Legal Residence assessment ratio rather than the common 6% ratio for commercial or non-owner-occupied real property. Legal Residence also receives relief from school operating taxes. The application is handled by the Richland County Assessor.
5. What is the Richland County $50,000 Homestead Exemption?
The South Carolina Homestead Exemption can exempt the first $50,000 of a qualifying primary home for taxpayers who are age 65, totally and permanently disabled, or legally blind. In Richland County this program is administered by the Auditor, not the Assessor’s Legal Residence division.
6. What is the Richland County ATI Exemption?
Certain property assessed at the 6% ratio that undergoes an Assessable Transfer of Interest can qualify for an exemption equal to as much as 25% of ATI fair market value. Richland County says the initial application is due before January 31 of the first eligible year, with a 90-day notice-based filing opportunity in certain cases.
7. How long do I have to appeal a Richland County assessment?
Richland County directs taxpayers to appeal a property valuation within 90 days of the date on the assessment notice. The Assessor provides an online appeal application, and unresolved disputes can proceed to the County Board of Assessment Appeals.
8. When are Richland County 2026 real-estate taxes due?
The 2026 tax notice will be issued later in 2026 and South Carolina real-property taxes are generally payable without penalty through January 15 of the following year. For the 2026 tax year, that means the normal penalty-free deadline is January 15, 2027. Check the actual notice for parcel-specific information.
9. Where do I search Richland County deeds, mortgages and liens?
Use the Richland County Register of Deeds. Remote online research is available through its fee-based Subscription Data Services, and records can also be researched in person at 1701 Main Street, Room 101, Columbia. Search criteria include TMS, book/page, name or firm, address and legal description.
10. Can I use Richland County GIS parcel lines as a legal survey?
No. Richland County GIS states its mapped information is for general reference. Use the recorded deed, plat and a qualified land surveyor when a legal boundary, easement, encroachment or exact acreage matters.
