A 120-Day Tax Notice was created when you purchased the vehicle described on your bill and typically indicates that you received the license plate and DMV registration decal for the vehicle before paying the property taxes; this is different than the sales tax you may have paid at the time of purchase.
An original 120-Day Vehicle Tax Bill was mailed to the address of record shortly after you purchased the vehicle. The vehicle may be years old or new, South Carolina State Law tasks the Treasurer's Office with the collection of taxes up to 10 years. Unfortunately, our records indicate that these taxes were not paid.
If you no longer have this vehicle, the tax is still due but, once paid, you should not receive any additional bills for the vehicle.
If you believe this bill to be in error, please contact the Beaufort County Auditor's Office at 843-258-5434 or email BeaufortCountyAuditor@bcgov.net to ensure the records reflect accurate information and all relevant documentation has been completed.
In order to resolve a 120-Day Vehicle Tax bill, the account must be paid through American Financial Credit Services (AFCS), Beaufort County's collection agency.
