Delay sought to pay property tax

Oconee County is asking the state to extend a deadline for property taxes (SCDMV and SCDNR) due by September 30.  Christy Hubbard, county auditor, sent a letter Monday to the Department of Revenue in Columbia which reads:  “Oconee County is requesting an extension through 10-31-2024, pursuant to SC Code of Law 12-4-520 (6), for property taxes due September 30, 2024.”  To Amanda Ruple of the DOR Local Government Services, Hubbard writes, “We appreciate your consideration concerning this request to assist our citizens during this natural disaster to our area and others across the state.”
