Treasurer, auditor, assessor, they are all horrible to deal with. They won't even communicate with each other to help you. I already have disabled veterans exemption status, but we bought a new car. Carvana said they would handle everything. We transferred our plates and received our registration and though all was well until we received a tax bill for over $1200 that we're not supposed to receive. I went through the exemption process again, but had to pay the tax until it was approved again then they would send me a refund. 17 weeks later I finally received the approval. But it had the wrong names on it. Got that fixed and was told I would have my refund within 2 weeks. No refund so I called and was told it would be an additional 4 to 6 weeks. That's 6 months for something that should have been automatic just like the registration was if city, county, and state offices would only communicate with each other. They won't even reply to emails or phone calls sometimes. Serious mismanagement in our local government. This can cause people a serious financial hardship. Imagine if you replied to their tax bill and told them it would take you 6 months to pay. Exactly.

Oddly, the people who answered my calls were always friendly and professional, it’s when I tried to contact a supervisor that things got curt. I had to call multiple times and finally email someone else at a Richland County office (also very polite) to get in touch with this supervisor who was cold, curt, rude, and not really helpful at all. I asked a few simple questions and got back a snippy little email that didn’t answer them at all but did scold me. Typically government offices are much better at dealing with military families stationed overseas who are just trying to give them their money. Very frustrated.

I went to this location a week or two ago. 1st NO free parking, but 50 cents got us 42 minutes. Thankfully I had my fiance with me so she could add money to meter if needed. The reason I gave 3 stars is because I was origionally told while i was there that I would have to pay $700 for my Vehicle tax when I was told it would be no more than $490. I went home with the $700 bill and immediately called this location requested to speak to a supervisor since i was told several different things by 2 people. ie ( 45 days to pay when it states 3 times "Pay by 12/31/21. as well as the different amounts, and to see if I could get the school tax waved or at the very least significantly lowered because I dont have any children. I got a supervisor, and she got my bill lowered from $700 to $430. I think the problem was a LONG line and only 2 reps in person. More reps means shorter lines and more time to ACTUALLY do the job correctly. Almost had to move out of state again because I cant afford $700 before even march.

I went to pay my vehicle property tax, you go to the big building, girls don't bring any bags it's not authorized. Then I went first to the auditors so they can generate the bill, I gave my car title and a proof of current address. Then went directly to the treasurer which is in the same room. You can pay through QR code as well, it's up to you. Everything was fast and smooth. I spent roughly 10 minutes in the building.

Usually it will arrive within 2 weeks. Sometimes sooner depending on weather conditions.

If I pay my car taxes here will they give me the sticker or mail it to me? I live in Charleston and won't be back before I need the sticker. DMV website says I can pay from out of county here but if I don't get the sticker it does me no good.

Matthew Jones | Sep 27, 2021
Catherine's Kitchen | Sep 27, 2021

Not in this building. Shop Road is where you get the stickers. This building is only for paying for taxes and when you legally registry a vehicle..

Go to the richland county tax website and they have a way you can search for your bill . Type in the tax year, the name the vehicle is in and the address. You can print it that way

Who do I talk to about high mileage to get my taxes lowered. Is it possible to be able to talk to someone in person. Are you open for business tomorrow.

Danny Starks | Sep 27, 2020
Shirley Anderson | Sep 27, 2020

Need proof of odometer reading. Right now you can't go to property tax office. U can drop off your bill & proof of mileage ( oil change etc. showing reading). Go around the back by the voters registration office. They have a drop box they check daily. Do this 3 to 6 weeks prior to due date. Good luck

You can change your address with the DMV online not with the treasury department. If u need to change the address and your taxes for the year have already been paid you would need to change it with the DMV

My 2008 Honda CR-V went up by $50 for 2019 How How- Car’s DEVALUE- this is sooooooo crooked- In TX it’s $75 whether its a BMW or a VW -

Susan Hardwicke | Sep 28, 2019
Lanail Thompson | Sep 28, 2019

The state of Texas does not have vehicle taxes. The 75 is just for registration renewal. In SC vehicle taxes are assessed by property value each year plus renewal fee

If its is your first time registering the car, in this county, in your name, go to the auditors office on the second floor. If you just need to renew your tags, go to the payments desk of the treasurer, which is also on the second floor.
