Aircraft (AC) property tax bills are paid with the Beaufort County Treasurer’s office (843-341-8404). These bills are taxed in arrears and are determined by the January 1st owner. Bills are mailed around November annually and are due by January 15th of the following year.
If you sold, junked, or otherwise transferred ownership of the aircraft that you received a tax bill for, please provide a copy of the bill of sale or transfer of ownership documentation to our office by filling out the request ticket form linked below. In addition, the FAA will need to be notified at faa.gov or 1-866-762-9434. Please be aware that if you owned the property as of January 1st of the current tax year, you are still responsible for taxes for the entire year.
If you received an Aircraft tax bill but already paid the taxes to a different county in South Carolina, please forward our office a copy of your paid tax receipt to have the duplicate billing removed.
