The Delinquent Tax Collector must take possession of the delinquent property, and then may sell such property in order to satisfy the outstanding delinquent liability. There is an initial notice, called an Execution Notice, mailed in April to notify the delinquent taxpayer of their delinquent taxes due. No less than thirty days (30) days after that initial notice is mailed, a secondary certified notice is mailed to the defaulting taxpayer. A sign may be placed on the property that serves as an additional notification, and the property and defaulting owner(s) of record will be advertised in a local newspaper of general circulation before the property is sold. You bid at your own risk! We are collecting taxes and you receive interest on your bid. During the redemption period, successful bidders have no ownership rights to the property and have no right to enter the premises or contact the owner. Redemption is handled through the Anderson County Tax Collectors office and ownership rights are transferred only if the property is not redeemed and a tax title is issued and recorded. Anderson County makes no warranty and no representation whatsoever, including but not limited to, the value of the property, the size, shape, boundaries, location or physical characteristics, the number or condition of any buildings or improvements, or the quality of the title to the property. Therefore, Anderson County strongly urges bidders to research all property and obtain legal advice prior to placing bids. This is an open bid, and bidders must use their numbered bidder cards in order to place bids. The Delinquent Tax Collector will present the opening bid, which is made on behalf of the Forfeit Land Commission, and which will consist of all delinquent taxes, penalties, and costs plus the current year's taxes. The Tax Collector will announce the properties for sale in alphabetical order as they appeared in the newspaper ads and will provide the property ID number the owner's name and amount due. All sales are final, with no exceptions. Terms of sale are cash, cashier's check or certified funds. All bids must be paid by 5:00 p.m. on the day of sale and may be subject to a $300 fine per bid for failure to pay.

" First 3 months 3% of bid amount " Months 4, 5 & 6 6% of bid amount " Months 7, 8 & 9 9% of bid amount " Last 3 months 12% of bid amount However, every redemption amount of interest due must not exceed the amount of bid on the property submitted on behalf of the Forfeited Land Commission, pursuant to SC Code of Laws Section 12-51-55. In addition to the cost to redeem a mobile home the defaulting taxpayer or lien holder must pay rent to the purchaser at the time of redemption, an amount not to exceed one-twelfth of the taxes for the last completed property tax year exclusive of penalties, cost and interest for each month between the sale and redemption. However, the monthly rental, when calculated, must not be less than ten dollars. Successful bidder must return the bidder receipt in order to receive the bid plus interest on the redeemed property. Upon failure of the defaulting taxpayer, a grantee from the owner, a mortgagee, a judgment creditor, or a lessee of the property to redeem realty within the time period allowed for redemption, the Tax Collector, within 30 days or as soon after that as possible, shall make a tax title to the purchaser or the purchaser's assignee.
