The Auditor sets millage, as approved by Oconee County Council, based upon the County's assessed values as determined by local and state government market values, the budgetary needs of Oconee County, and the School District of Oconee County. The Auditor assembles information that results in the levying of property taxes for real estate and personal property and generates tax notices that are collected by the Oconee County Treasurer. The Auditor's Office processes personal property values and assessments (vehicles, boats, motors, airplanes, business personal property) based upon SC Department of Revenue guidelines. The office also processes Homestead Exemptions, as well as assists citizens with exemptions for other properties.
