Former POWs and Medal of Honor Recipients

South Carolina residents who received the Medal of Honor, or were POWs in World War I, World War II, Korea or Vietnam, may qualify to exempt their qualifying home and up to one acre. Separate provisions exempt up to two qualifying vehicles. Survivor rules differ: qualifying surviving spouses can continue the home exemption, and the POW vehicle exemption extends to a qualifying surviving spouse, but the Medal of Honor vehicle exemption does not. Ownership, residence and SCDOR documentation requirements apply.
