What stands out about how Troy is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Greenwood School District 50
Troy’s K–12 school district, shared with Greenwood, Hodges. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $14,578 per pupil, $7,986 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
South Carolina districts overall: 45% local, 43% state, 13% federal.

No comparison or trend for Troy yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Troy’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
How Town Hall compares budgets →The typical homeowner pays $393 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county.
Typical yearly bill next door and statewide
The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Troy’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
