The Beaufort County Treasurer’s Office began levying delinquent properties on Aug. 22.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>

This is the process in which a Notice of Levy sign is affixed to a property as notification to the owner that the property taxes have not been paid. Not all properties will be posted.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>

Those that have signed and returned the Certified Delinquent Tax Notice or have paid the property taxes due, will not be posted.

On Sept. 4, an additional penalty of $25 will be added and personal checks will no longer be accepted.

The Beaufort County Delinquent Tax Sale will take place on Monday, Oct. 7 at the Buckwalter Recreation Center in Bluffton. The taxes must be paid by 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4 to prevent the property from being auctioned at the Delinquent Tax Sale. No payments will be accepted for delinquent properties on the day of the auction.
