Didn’t I pay the taxes when I bought my vehicle?

When you purchase a vehicle from a dealership, their personnel are allowed to pick up your registration and license tags without paying the local property taxes. The tax you paid to the dealership at the time of purchase was the South Carolina state sales tax. This allows you a 120-day grace period to delay payment of personal property taxes on your new vehicle.
