If you recently transferred your license plate off the vehicle you received a renewal tax bill for and you have not received a bill for your current vehicle, the bill you received may need to be removed. Please contact our office to include forwarding the photo IDs of the current vehicle owners and current vehicle registration so that a new account can be created (note expired IDs are not accepted). Likewise, please include the transfer of ownership documentation for the old vehicle you received a renewal bill for (such as trade-in paperwork, a bill of sale, signed-over vehicle title, etc.), and we will be able to look into having your old vehicle account inactivated.
Following payment on your current vehicle account, the paid tax receipt issued by the Beaufort County Treasurer's office will need to be taken to the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to renew your decal and registration. For any questions regarding the renewal process, DMV can be reached at either 803-896-5000 (Columbia), 843-379-8822 (Beaufort) or 843-815-6981 (Bluffton).
