Section A: Overview of Lee County Tax Sales

In Lee County, South Carolina, real property ad valorem taxes fund local municipal services, public school districts, emergency operations, and county infrastructure. When real estate taxes become delinquent, the Lee County Tax Commissioner or Revenue Collector attaches an official statutory tax lien against the subject parcel.

South Carolina operates under a Delinquent Tax Sale (Redeemable Tax Deed) statutory model. Under this jurisdiction framework, if delinquent taxes, accrued administrative fees, and penalties remain unpaid following mandatory formal notice periods, the property is scheduled for public execution auction.

Auctions are administered under the direction of the local County Sheriff, Clerk of Court, or Tax Commissioner. Winning bidders acquire legal title or a tax certificate subject to state statutory redemption and title confirmation procedures.
