A: You might start with the taxing authorities appraisal of the property in the County in which it lies. Especially if it is a subdivision house, look at similar recent transfers near your property, or again, at nearby tax appraisals. You could also hire a real estate agent in that County.

A: Assessing the value of property in South Carolina can be approached in several ways, although there's no specific state website that provides an exact "real value" for your property.

One option is to check the county assessor's website where your property is located in South Carolina. These websites often provide property tax assessment information, which can give you a baseline idea of your property's value, although it may not reflect the current market value.

For a more accurate estimation, consider using real estate websites that offer property value estimates based on recent sales data, market trends, and other factors. Websites like Zillow or Redfin can be useful, but remember these are estimates and can vary.

Lastly, for the most precise valuation, you might consider hiring a professional appraiser. Although this isn't a free service, it provides a comprehensive assessment of your property's current market value.

Keep in mind, property values can fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including the local real estate market, the condition of the property, and recent sales of comparable properties in the area.
