Functions
The function of the Delinquent Tax Office is to investigate and collect delinquent on real and personal taxes, penalties and cost. The office attempts to locate and notify taxpayers of taxes owed and to maintain an accurate, up-to-date account of monies collected.
According to South Carolina Law, unpaid taxes become delinquent on March 17th of each year. The County Treasurer issues a Warrant of Execution to the Delinquent Tax Office for collection. The Execution Orders the Delinquent Tax Office (Tax Collector) in the name of the state to levy by distress and sell the taxpayers' property to satisfy the delinquent taxes, penalties, and costs.
The Delinquent Tax Office works closely with the Auditor's office, the Assessor's office, and the Treasurer's Office.
