Over the past six months, multiple notifications have been sent to delinquent property owners via mail, including a delinquent certified notice and posting a physical sign on the property, and properties were advertised in the newspaper and online.

Taxpayers wanting to prevent their property from being auctioned may pay any time before 5:00pm on October 3, 2022 using any one of our convenient payment methods but the greatest experience is using myBeaufortCounty.com, where you can keep track of all your bills and receipts in one convenient location. Only guaranteed funds will be accepted to include cash, money order, cashier’s check, certified check or credit card. Payments will not be accepted the day of the auction.
