We are very hopeful that property tax notices will be available online by October 10, 2026, and that printed notices will be mailed to taxpayers on or by October 20, 2026.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make the tax notices available as soon as possible.

Additional updates will be provided if these anticipated dates change.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The State of South Carolina and Oconee County have several compliance requirements for short term rentals. These requirements are primarily related to the collection and remittance of Accommodations Taxes to both the State of South Carolina and Oconee County.

The Delinquent Tax Office is responsible for all real property owing delinquent taxes. To avoid sale, all delinquent taxes, assessments, penalties and costs must be received and processed by the County prior to the opening bid of the tax sale. Personal or company checks will not be accepted as sufficient time must be allowed for the checks to clear. Only cash, money order, or certified funds will be accepted for the payment of taxes.
