Sell Your Tax Lien House Fast in Leesburg

In South Carolina, property taxes become delinquent on March 17th of the year following the tax year in which they were assessed, and under S.C. Code Ann. § 12-49-10, a lien attaches to the property on that date automatically — no court action is required. The county Delinquent Tax Collector is then authorized to advertise and sell the delinquent property at a tax sale, which typically occurs in the fall (October or November), where a third party can purchase a tax lien certificate rather than outright ownership. After the tax sale, the original homeowner retains a one-year right of redemption under S.C. Code Ann. § 12-51-90, meaning you can reclaim full ownership by paying the successful bidder the amount they paid plus a significant penalty (between 3% and 12% depending on when in the redemption period you redeem), along with any subsequent taxes paid. If the redemption period expires without the homeowner redeeming the property, the Delinquent Tax Collector executes a tax deed to the purchaser, transferring title — though S.C. Code Ann. § 12-51-160 allows homeowners to pursue a court challenge to the deed's validity within a limited window if procedural errors occurred, typically handled through the Court of Common Pleas.
