Assessments, Mills, and Property Tax Bills in Charleston, SC
Each year property owners receive a friendly note from our local tax authority saying we owe them money for our vehicles we drive and for real estate we own.  Often times, we are too busy with our daily routines to really question:  How did they come up with this number ?
 There are four factors used in the formula:  Appraised Value
                                                                                    Assessment Ratio
                                                                                    Total assessment
                                                                                    Millage rate

Inside historic CITY HALL - Charleston, SC via video
City Hall is another one of Charleston's hidden jewels.  The building was built in 1801 as a bank and was purchased by the city in 1818 to be used as a city hall.  Even though City Hall is a functioning city hall, City Hall is much like a museum, containing original historic portraits displayed in the council chamber: George Washington, General Beauregard, John C. Calhoun, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson.  Is located at 80 Broad Street and is open to visitors.

French Huguenot Church - Charleston, SC - Speechless Sunday
The first group of French Huguenot's arrived in Charleston around 1681 and organized the first French Huguenot congregation.  The first French Huguenot Church was constructed around 1687.  The present day French Huguenot is of Gothic Revival style and was built in 1845. 
In the early days of Charleston history, church services were scheduled around the tide.  The "planters", who lived up river on the Ashley River or the Cooper River, would arrive on ebb tide and return on flood tide.  Image that.
