You might have changed your address and didn't inform the Auditor's office, your tax bill was sent to the previous address. You must be needed to change your address with the SC Department of Motor Vehicles so they could forward the details to the Auditor's office. Please inform the SC Department of Motor Vehicles so they can change the registration of your vehicle to the new location. 

For the tax bill, please call the Auditor's office at 803-576-2600.

 If your vehicle is purchased from a dealer and he got a tag for you then according to the law, the Auditor can not send you a bill until 120 days. If you don't pay the tax bill, the Treasurer's office will send you a suspension letter on the unpaid tax. Once you clear the taxes, the suspension will be lifted.

The tax department of the county does not charge a penalty if you pay vehicle tax after the due date but if you received a notice from SCDMV, you most probably had not renewed the tag on time. You can contact the Richland County Auditor's office at 803-576-2600 if the penalty fee was incurred due to a billing issue.

 All County business licenses expired on Dec. 31. The deadline to renew without incurring penalties is March 15. Every business needs a business license to operate legally, including home-based businesses.

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell.

Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people who get COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness.

People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.

If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms, such as cough or difficulty breathing, call your healthcare provider for medical advice.
