In South Carolina, vehicle taxes are paid a year in advance.
If you are renewing your vehicle license tag, you can pay your taxes and renewal fee to the Treasurer's Office and eliminate having to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
If you receive a tax notice for a boat or motor that you no longer own, you must notify the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources at: P.O. Box 167 Columbia, SC. 29202
When paying your taxes, please make a reference on your check to the receipt number. This reduces the possibility of errors in posting your payment.
