Tax exemption relief for S.C. seniors By BRIAN NORMAN bnorman@liherald.com
The Sea Cliff Board of Trustees approved legislation to increase income limits for senior and disabled property owners providing tax exemptions while aligning Sea Cliff with the maximum income limits passed by the state in 2022.

Residents who make $50,000 or less will be given a 50% tax exemption with the sliding scale adjusting down five percent for every thousand dollars more a resident makes. For example if a resident makes $51,000 a year, the tax exemption would go down to 45.
