South Carolina Tax Sale Calendar

Quick answerSouth Carolina tax sale timing: Annual county delinquent tax sales in the fall, varying by county (commonly October-December) What is sold: Redeemable tax deeds. Registration and deposits are due before the sale — in most counties, the day before — so the list posting date matters as much as the sale date.

Verified South Carolina sale dates are added as counties publish their lists — members get them by text and email the moment they post. The sale rhythm below is from South Carolina law.
