Merchant (MER) and Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FFE) business property tax bills are created based on the value of any furniture, fixtures and equipment used in the operation of a business. PT-100 business personal property returns are filed with the South Carolina Department of Revenue (DOR) through their website, MyDORWAY, to report and/or change the value of these contents.
Our office receives a certification from DOR to update MER and FFE accounts at the beginning of each workweek, and an adjusted bill is mailed to the address on file if the account is unpaid or the bill's value was raised. In cases where the bill was paid and a refund is due, the refund will be issued in 4-6 weeks from the Beaufort County Treasurer's office as a check in the mail. To check on the status of a pending refund, the Treasurer's office can be reached at either 843-341-8404 or through their online contact page: Treasurer Contact
For any questions regarding a business property bill you received or for filing a return, please contact the South Carolina DOR at either bpp@dor.sc.gov or 803-898-5222.
