For Your Information

  • In South Carolina, vehicle taxes are paid a year in advance.
  • If you are renewing your vehicle license tag, you can pay your taxes and renewal fees to the Treasurer's Office and eliminate having to go to the Highway Department.    
  • If you receive a tax notice for a boat or motor that you no longer own, you must notify the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources at Post Office Bos 167, Columbia, SC 29202.
  • When paying your taxes, please make reference on your check to the PIN number.  This reduces the possibility of errors in posting your payment. 
  • If you receive a tax notice for a vehicle you no longer own, you will need to contact the Auditor's Office.
