I sold my Key West and Dorchester county still sent me a tax bill stating I owned the boat the 1st day of the year. What a bunch of crooks. Well they got their last tax check last year for any and all boats from me. I will never own another boat in Dorchester County.

Going to Church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

You are the offspring of 5 monkeys having But Secs with a retarded fish squirrel. CONGRADULATION!!!

Been there too, sold my old boat in early 2010. Dorchester county sent me property taxes for 2010, I said I sold that boat, they said I still have to pay since I owned it for a portion of that year, and if I didn't, the boat would be sold at a tax auction, a boat I don't own anymore mind you. I paid just so the current owner wouldn't be hasseled.

  1. How does the County Auditor get my name to generate the personal property tax notice?

If your name is on SC Department of Natural Resources Titling and Registration Records as of December 31st, the County Auditor is generated a report in January, with your name, description of your boat/outboard motor. The County Auditor will assess this information and will forward you a personal property tax notice.

Example:

Jane Doe is on SC Department of Natural Resources Titling and Registration Records December 31, 2004.
January 2005, County Auditor received report from SCDNR.
Fall 2005 personal property tax is generated and mailed.
If you sell the boat/outboard

I sold a boat six years ago and STILL get a tax notice in the mail every year. In fact, it just came Monday. Here we go again…

If you’re not effecting the world around you in a positive manner…you’re taking up too much space.

Does anybody know the story behind registering your boat with the Coast Guard instead of DNR and you will not have to pay property tax, just the one time $350 to register it?

SO another step that you have to take is notify DNR that you have sold your boat, if not they have no way of knowing. Say you sell your boat and that person takes it to FL, DNR still thinks you own it… So if you sell your boat/ motor OR change your address let DNR know so they can do their job.
