What is the Awendaw tax lien sale and how does it work?

A tax lien sale in Awendaw is not run by the town itself; it is a Charleston County process that occurs when property taxes go unpaid long enough, where the county sells the delinquent tax debt at a public sale rather than the property itself outright. The property owner typically retains a redemption period during which they can pay off the debt plus costs to keep the property. Anyone facing this situation should contact the Charleston County tax collector's office immediately rather than wait for the sale date. Brian Beatty can help an Awendaw owner understand their options if a property is heading toward this process.
