Behind On SC Property Taxes? Use The 12-Month Redemption Period Wisely
A tax lien on your home means the county can eventually take it and sell it at auction — and you get nothing. We buy houses with back taxes, active tax liens, and even properties already scheduled for tax sale. We pay the taxes at closing and you walk away clean. Serving homeowners across South Carolina.

SC tax-sale process: understand the redemption window
South Carolina’s tax-sale process is governed by SC Code § 12-51 and gives property owners significantly more protection than NC. When property taxes go unpaid, the county holds a tax sale (typically held the first Monday of December). The winning bidder receives a tax sale certificate — NOT the deed. After the sale, the original owner has a 12-month redemption period to pay the delinquent taxes plus interest (typically 8–12% depending on when redeemed) and keep the property. If the owner doesn’t redeem within 12 months, the bidder can apply for the tax deed. This extended window gives SC homeowners real runway — but you have to use it. We can buy during or before the redemption period and handle all the tax-office coordination.
- SC tax sales governed by SC Code § 12-51
- Annual tax sale held first Monday of December in most counties
- Bidder receives tax sale certificate, NOT the deed
- Owner has 12 MONTHS to redeem by paying taxes + interest
- Interest rate: typically 8% in first 6 months, 12% in last 6
- If not redeemed, bidder applies for tax deed — property is then lost

Why selling is usually the smart play
We pay the taxes at closing
Your back taxes, interest, and penalties come straight off the top of closing. You don't have to come up with cash.
Beat the tax-sale clock
Tax foreclosures can move fast. We close in 7–14 days — often fast enough to stop a pending tax sale.
Keep any remaining equity
If your property is worth more than the tax debt, you pocket the difference. Tax sales often wipe out ALL your equity — a private sale preserves it.
We coordinate with the tax office
We've worked with NC and SC tax collectors before. We know how to get accurate payoff letters and close before a deadline.
