The short answer
A mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value. For a rental, a basic estimate is taxable value × 0.06 × (total mills ÷ 1,000). Selected 2025 Greenville County district totals ranged from 250.1 mills (065, no fire district) to 361.1 mills (190, Greer fire).
A mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value. The assessment ratio determines how much of the property’s taxable value is assessed. Eligible legal residences also receive a school operating-tax exemption.
| Line on the bill | Mills |
|---|---|
| County operations and debt | 47.7 |
| Library, technical college and art museum | 12.4 |
| School operations | 141.2 |
| School debt | 48.5 |
| Municipal / fire / special charges | Varies |
| District / example | Total |
|---|---|
| 065 / No fire district | 250.1 |
| 897 / Simpsonville | 281.5 |
| 200 / Wade Hampton | 297.3 |
| 794 / Mauldin | 303.8 |
| 500 / Greenville | 331.5 |
| 366 / Travelers Rest | 333.0 |
| 190 / Greer fire | 361.1 |
District numbers matter: a city or postal name alone does not identify the rate. These selected 2025 totals are examples, not a quotation for every property in that area. Eligible legal residences omit the 141.2 school operating mills in this illustration.
At a hypothetical 290 total mills and $240,000 taxable value: residence tax is $240,000 × 0.04 × 0.1488 = $1,428.48; rental tax is $240,000 × 0.06 × 0.290 = $4,176. Credits, caps, exemptions and fees can change the actual bill.
