In addition to conducting the annual, live tax sale and in an effort to practice social distancing due to COVID-19, an option has been added for bidders to participate in the tax sale via an online auction this year.

Registration to participate in the tax sale MUST be completed no later than 5 p.m. November 12, 2020.  Registration will not be permitted on the day of the sale.  Visit berkeleycountysc.gov/taxsale2020 to sign-up for in-person or online bidding.

All real property and mobile homes with delinquent taxes are subject to sale. To avoid sale, all delinquent taxes, assessments, penalties and costs must be received and processed by the County by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 13, 2020. Only cash, money order, cashier’s check, attorney’s trust/escrow account checks or credit/debit cards (with a .30 cents & 2.50% transaction fee) will be accepted for payment of taxes. NO payments will be accepted the day of the Tax Sale.

Real and personal property must be advertised prior to the tax sale.
