Notices to soon appear on Beaufort County property with unpaid taxes

The Beaufort County Treasurer’s Office will begin levying delinquent properties on Aug. 8.

This is the process in which a Notice of Levy sign will be affixed to the property to notify the owner that the property taxes have not been paid, according to a county news release.

Not all delinquent property will be posted. If the treasurer’s office receives an appropriately signed certified notice prior to posting that delinquent property will not be posted.

Delinquent property owners have until Aug. 31 to pay the taxes in full before an additional delinquent fee of $50.00 is added.

The taxes must be paid by 5 p.m. on Sept. 30 to prevent the property from being auctioned at the county’s delinquent tax sale, the release said.

That sale will take place Oct. 3 at the Charles Lind Brown Gymnasium, 1001 Hamar Street, Beaufort.

No payments will be accepted for the delinquent property on the day of the auction, according to the release.
