County held annual delinquent tax sale, residents urged to check records

The Bamberg County Delinquent Tax Collector conducted the 2025 delinquent tax sale on December 8, 2025, moving forward with the list of properties that were published in the Bamberg Leader on November 17, November 24, and December 1, 2025. The county office says the sale is intended to collect unpaid taxes owed to the county, to various school districts, to municipalities, and to other political subdivisions that operate within Bamberg County.

"The purpose of the Bamberg County Delinquent Tax Collector's Office is to collect all delinquent taxes payable to the County, various school districts, municipalities, and political subdivisions located within Bamberg County." That collection process redistributes revenue that supports local services and classrooms, while offering bidders the opportunity to purchase tax delinquent properties under county procedures.

Prospective bidders were required to register and review bidder information forms ahead of the sale. The county made bidder registration and related forms available online through the county website under the Forms section, and the Delinquent Tax Collector offered contact support through the Courthouse Annex. Sharon T. Williams is listed as the Delinquent Tax Collector for the county.

The county posted a public disclaimer about the accuracy of the online material, noting the information is a public service and may need correction. "The information on this site is provided as a public service and is intended for reference purposes only. The Delinquent Tax Collector makes every effort to provide the most accurate information possible. However, portions of the information may need to be corrected or updated. Bamberg County does not guarantee, either expressly or by implication, the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of any information on this website." That notice underscores the need for property owners and interested parties to confirm details directly with the county prior to acting.

Local impact is practical and immediate. Property owners with unpaid taxes face loss of title or penalties, while municipal and school district budgets depend on the collection of delinquent taxes. Residents who believe a property was listed in error or who need to resolve outstanding taxes should verify records and contact Delinquent Tax Collector Sharon T. Williams at the Courthouse Annex as soon as possible to review account details and available remedies.
