I have moved from one county to another in South Carolina. What should I do?

When moving from county to county in the state of South Carolina, you should make sure that you change your address on your driver’s licenses and the registration of every vehicle you own. Keep in mind that we receive Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) records a few months in advance to prepare vehicle renewals on a monthly basis; so you might receive a bill from your previous county. If you do, bring in the bill from the previous county before the end of the month of expiration to have a tax notice prepared. If you do not receive a bill from the previous county, bring in your last registration card and we can produce a bill for you. Then you will need to take the paid tax receipt to DMV to receive your decal.

Vehicle Values

Vehicle values will be obtained through valuations provided by the state. Visit the Department of Revenue website for more information.
