      (WPDE) — Boating groups in South Carolina are celebrating progress on a bill that would significantly cut boat property taxes as it moves through the state Senate ahead of another vote scheduled for tomorrow.

      House Bill 3858 would provide a 50% exemption on the fair market value of any watercraft and lower the effective assessment ratio on boats from 10.5% to about 6%.

       

      The bill would also eliminate the need to title all outboard motors separately from boats.

      TRENDING: 1 dead, investigation underway at Florence shooting scene

      Gettys Brannon, president and CEO of the South Carolina Boating and Fishing Alliance, said South Carolinians face the highest property taxes on boats in the country, and the proposal is aimed at keeping more boats registered in-state while reducing costs for boat owners.

      “When you have a tax rate that’s 10.5%, the highest in the country, what occurs is people actually register their boats out of state. We saw that 80% of boats over $120,000 are registered out of state. So the more expensive boats are not even being taxed here as it currently stands. People will buy them here, and then they’ll register them out of state and take them out of the state for six months out of the year. What we’re pushing for is a lower tax rate to keep those bigger boats, the more expensive boats here, but also decrease the tax burden on the pontoon boat owner, the John boat owner, the bass boat owner that already has their boats here in South Carolina waters,” Brannon said.

      The bill was voted through the Senate Finance property tax subcommittee last week and is expected to be presented before the full Senate Finance Committee tomorrow.

      If it receives a favorable vote, it would move to the Senate floor.

      The bill has already passed the state House.

        I currently have my boat in South Carolina for the winter season but will soon be returning to the Chesapeake Bay. I'm retired and would love to keep my boat in South Carolina for a year or two, but the fear of having to pay this tax drives me out. That can't be good for businesses like marinas, restaurants, etc.

      East Coast Major Storm Update

      A major winter storm is forecast to impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast from Sunday, February 22, through Monday, February 23, 2026.

       
      		 
      		 
      		 
       

      READ IN APP

       

      A powerful nor’easter is expected to produce widespread snowfall of 1 to 2 feet (12–24 inches) and blizzard conditions along coastal areas, resulting in nearly impossible travel and potential for numerous power outages.

         

      Key Weather Hazards

      • Blizzard Conditions: Millions of residents from coastal Delaware through southeastern New England are under blizzard warnings. High winds combined with heavy snow will cause whiteout conditions and near-zero visibility.
           

         

      • Extreme Winds: Wind gusts are expected to range from 40 to 70 mph from coastal New Jersey to southeast New England.
      • Power Outages: The combination of strong winds and the weight of heavy, wet snow is likely to cause scattered to numerous power outages.
      • Coastal Flooding: Moderate to major coastal flooding and high surf are forecast, with inundation of roads and property most likely from Delaware to Cape Cod.

      Travel and Safety Impacts

      Travel will become treacherous to life-threatening starting Sunday afternoon. Officials have urged residents in major metropolitan areas, including New York City, to stay off the roads. Significant disruptions to travel and infrastructure are likely, including widespread flight cancellations and school closures on Monday.

         

      Offshore Waters

      Storm to Hurricane force winds and seas building up to 9-11 meters within 180-360 nm south of the center during the next 36-48 hours.
