GETTING TO KNOW THE 17 MUNICIPALITIES OF ORANGEBURG COUNTY
Orangeburg County is home to both international industry and small farming communities, festivals that draw thousands and intimate local gathering spots. While the county’s offerings are varied, the residents of each of its 17 towns share a deep love for the place they call home.
Discover Orangeburg has curated a guide for both newcomers and long-time residents to learn a little of the past and present offerings of these unique towns.

Each September, the town hosts the Harvest Festival, which includes a parade, carnival rides, a fish fry, a talent show, a barbecue cook-off, music and street dances. In the 1880s, a group of men, including Samuel W. Dribble, saw the agricultural and lumber potential of the land that now comprises Bowman. Dribble bought a sizable portion of the Bowman family estate for development. Bowman became a major cotton producer and was incorporated in 1903.

Passenger trains ran through the town on their way to destinations across the Eastern Seaboard and freight trains brought goods and carried out cotton and other products.
North is the birthplace of Eartha Kitt, an international star who distinguished herself in film, theater, cabaret, music and on television.
The North Air Force Auxiliary Airfield is the site of practice cargo drops for the U.S. Air Force. Planes, such as the C-17, fly from Charleston to North for training runs.
NORWAY
Norway was founded in 1891 when the railroad expanded to the area. The town almost had a name change when the similarity between the town names Norway and nearby North almost caused a train wreck. Railroad workers began referring to the Norway station as “Waynor” to avoid confusion.
Norway annually celebrates its farming heritage with the Cotton Festival, where visitors can learn about the history of cotton, from seeds to clothing, through educational exhibits.

The Rowesville Community Center has been renovated and includes a full kitchen for catering events.
SANTEE
The town of Santee began as a crossroads beside the Santee River. The name Santee comes from a Native American word meaning “the rivers.”
The Santee River was dammed in the 1940s to supply hydroelectric power as part of the rural electrification efforts initiated under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. The completion of the Santee Cooper Lake’s flooding brought new business and tourism to the area.
The Santee Conference Center can accommodate 1,200 people for business conferences, corporate retreats, weddings and other private events.

Wonderful Weather
PLEASANT CLIMATE MAKES ORANGEBURG COUNTY THE PERFECT DESTINATION FOR YEAR-ROUND FUN
The Great Outdoors
With average high and low annual temperatures of 74.1 and 51.8 degrees Fahrenheit respectively, Orangeburg County’s climate fosters outdoor activities year-round. Add that to a total of 216 sunny days a year — topping the national average of 205 — and you’ve got an ideal atmosphere for outdoor fun, no matter the time of year. Between fish-stocked lakes for angling and boating, woodlands for hunting, and parks for camping and family-friendly activities like minigolf and boat tours, lovers of fresh air will find plenty of reasons to get outdoors in Orangeburg County.
“We appreciate each season…,” says Hugh Weathers, South Carolina commissioner of agriculture and Orangeburg County native. “That is one of the great things about
spending so much time outdoors, where each season has specific memory-making days.”
BY THE NUMBERS
The average high temperature in Orange County in July hovers around 92 degrees, while the average low in January is 35 degrees. Snowfall in the county averages only about 1'' per year.
Take to the Trails
Long a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors, Edisto Memorial Gardens resides along the bank of the Edisto River. Stroll through the site’s award-winning rose garden (in bloom beginning in May) or cross the boardwalk that runs for half a mile through a tupelo-cypress wetland.
For something more challenging, head to
Santee State Park, where a 7.5-mile hiking and mountain-biking trail loops through a pine and hardwood forest on the shore of Lake Marion. One of the park’s shorter trails leads to a sinkhole pond; signs along the way explain how sinkholes formed here as a result of water dissolving surface limestone rock. Keep a watch out for a wide variety of wildlife as you hike the 3.7-mile loop through the Santee-Cooper Wildlife Management Area. Superimposed on the lands and waters of Lake Marion, the Area forms part of the 15,000-acre Santee National Wildlife Refuge
For bicyclists, the Edisto Explorer, a flat 14-mile route, runs along the North Fork of the Edisto River from its starting point at Baughman’s Landing. The 23-mile bike trail dubbed the Santee Shuffle begins at Joe Miller Park in Elloree and rolls past farmland, swamps and woodlands.
Into the Woods
While deer hunting is king in Orangeburg County in terms of the numbers and size of white-tailed deer found here, the area is also home to some of the best turkey hunting in the state. It’s not unusual for hunters in Orangeburg to bag a wild hog or coyote while in pursuit of other game; as non-native animals, wild hogs and coyotes can both be taken year-round. Throughout the county, you can go after quail on several preserves, and hunt doves on both public and private land. Hunting rabbit and other small game is becoming more popular as well.
Out on the Water
One of the longest free-flowing blackwater rivers in the U.S., the Edisto River is a haven for recreation. The Edisto Basin supports 94 ecological communities (not including aquatic communities), which, in turn, harbor protected bird species such as the redcockaded woodpecker, southern bald eagle, and wood stork. Canoers and kayakers can navigate the river’s narrow, winding, upper reaches, while small fishing boats favor the open waters of the Edisto.
GRAND AMERICAN COON HUNT
Folks flock to Orangeburg in early January for the annual Grand American Coon Hunt, the largest coon trial run in the nation. Held in Orangeburg County for six decades and counting, the hunt takes advantage of the region’s temperate January climate, which allows hunters and their coon hounds to trek through the area’s woods and marshes without being hindered by snow.

Rising Industrial Powerhouse
SOUTH CAROLINA’S SECOND-LARGEST COUNTY CONTINUES TO TRANSFORM ITS ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE
Once known for its agricultural and textile roots, Orangeburg County is now forging a bold path as a leader in advanced manufacturing, agribusiness, and technology.
Merle Johnson, executive director of the Orangeburg County Development Commission, says infrastructure development has been key to this transformation. “In the past decade, we’ve expanded from five to 11 industrial parks, all strategically located with direct access to highways, rail, and Charleston’s deepwater port. This infrastructure is the backbone of our success in attracting high-impact projects,” he says. Orangeburg County’s prime location between Charleston and Columbia, along the Interstate 26 corridor, gives it a distinct advantage in logistics. With direct access to
the Port of Charleston — one of the busiest ports on the East Coast — the county offers businesses unparalleled connectivity to global markets. This, combined with its growing industrial portfolio, has made Orangeburg County a magnet for companies seeking a strategic foothold in the region.
One standout site is the 745-acre Orangeburg Power Site, a shovel-ready industrial site boasting robust utility infrastructure and easy access to major transportation routes like I-26 and I-95. Johnson explains, “The site is ideal for companies that need to start operations quickly and efficiently, and its proximity to the city hub only adds to its appeal.”
In addition, the county recently completed a $4.5 million project in Western
Orangeburg County Industrial Park, where a 50,000-square-foot speculative building now stands ready to accommodate light manufacturing and distribution. Built on a former sorghum farm, this development represents more than just physical growth — it’s a symbol of Orangeburg County’s commitment to innovation and forwardthinking economic strategies.
BUILDING A FUTURE-READY WORKFORCE
While infrastructure forms the foundation of Orangeburg County’s growth, its true strength lies in its people. The county is home to three prominent educational institutions — South Carolina
State University, Claflin University, and Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College (OCtech) — with each playing a critical role in developing the workforce of the future. These schools are not only educating the next generation of professionals but are also actively collaborating with local industries to ensure a pipeline of skilled workers.
“Our universities and technical colleges are critical to developing the talent that companies need,” Johnson says. “From technical training at OCtech to advanced research at South Carolina State and Claflin, these institutions ensure that Orangeburg County remains competitive in industries like advanced manufacturing, agriculture, and technology.”
OCtech, for example, offers South Carolina’s only degreed program in electronic instrumentation, crucial for industries like energy, manufacturing, and health care. The Master Automobile Service Technology program ensures that Orangeburg County produces top-tier professionals in the automotive sector, addressing the state’s growing industrial needs.
At Claflin University, a $17.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National Institute of Standards and Technology is funding the development of an Innovation Center for Computer Science and Biotechnology. This center will focus on cutting-edge fields like biosciences, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, providing students with the hands-on experience they need to succeed in these
rapidly growing industries.
Meanwhile, South Carolina State University’s 1890 Research and Extension program continues to lead agricultural innovation. In October 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded SC State a $500,000 Precision Technology Grant for a three-year program using drones to collect data to implement data usage into their farming practices and operations keeping Orangeburg County’s agricultural roots alive and competitive.
Further supporting this effort, Boeing partnered with the Orangeburg County School District to enhance STEM education through initiatives like the DreamLearners program. This collaboration introduces students to careers in aerospace and advanced manufacturing while providing hands-on learning experiences that inspire future STEM professionals.
Johnson adds, “This collaboration between education and industry is essential for long-term economic growth. By ensuring a pipeline of talent, Orangeburg County is not just meeting today’s workforce demands but preparing for the needs of tomorrow.”
AEROSPACE TAKES FLIGHT: BOEING’S BOLD INVESTMENT
A major milestone in Orangeburg County’s industrial evolution came in July 2024, when Boeing expanded its footprint in the county by acquiring two GKN Aerospace facilities. These facilities are crucial in the production of parts for the 787 Dreamliner, 737 MAX and 777X aircraft, making Orangeburg County a vital player in the aerospace supply chain.
This acquisition brought 110 employees into Boeing’s operations and signaled the company’s long-term commitment to the area. Boeing’s decision to invest in Orangeburg County is a testament to the
county’s broader strategy to attract aerospace industries, which are increasingly looking to expand domestic production. The aerospace sector is a growing focus for Orangeburg County, aligning with national trends toward reshoring and supply chain resilience. Beyond job creation, Boeing’s investment also extends into local talent development. The company’s partnership with South Carolina State University is creating internship opportunities and career pathways for students interested in the aerospace industry. As a result of this partnership, Boeing was named South Carolina State University’s 2024 Employer of the Year.

“Boeing’s presence in Orangeburg County solidifies our role in the global aerospace sector,” Johnson says. “And with their partnership with SC State, we’re also ensuring that local students have a direct path into one of the most competitive industries in the world.”
ORANGEBURG COUNTY’S PUSH FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The push for sustainability is another critical element of Orangeburg County’s economic development. Valagro, a global leader in biostimulants and specialty nutrients, is constructing a new facility in the Orangeburg County/City Industrial Park. With an investment of $27 million, the project will create 33 new jobs and serve as a symbol of the region’s commitment to future-ready industries.
In March 2023, Delta Children’s Products — a leading manufacturer of children’s furniture — announced a $33.1 million investment to build a 400,000-squarefoot facility in Orangeburg. This project will create 123 jobs and support the company’s expansion into new categories. “We’re excited about this new project in South Carolina,” Delta Children said in a statement. “This will help us bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and allow us to grow our product lines.”
Husqvarna, a global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, is further reinforcing Orangeburg County’s sustainable development with a $50 million
expansion that will create 200 new jobs announced in November 2023. The company is transitioning its production to electric and battery-powered products in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint by 35% by 2025.
This trend of sustainability is reflective of a broader movement within the county, where economic development is increasingly tied to environmentally responsible practices. “Companies like Husqvarna are not only investing in Orangeburg County but also making a commitment to sustainability,” Johnson says. “It’s a win-win for our economy and the environment.”
Orangeburg County’s focus on renewable energy is further solidified by recent investments in solar manufacturing. In March 2023, Hounen Solar USA, a leader in the solar energy industry, announced a $33 million investment to establish its first U.S. manufacturing operations. This project is expected to create 200 jobs and further strengthen Orangeburg County’s position as a hub for renewable energy. As the global demand for clean energy continues to rise,
Orangeburg County is positioning itself as a key player in this rapidly growing sector.
HOUSING GROWTH MATCHES INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION
With the growth of the workforce comes the need for housing and commercial development. The County of Orangeburg is processing permits for more than 3,000 new homes, a crucial step in supporting the county’s industrial expansion and accommodating its rapidly growing population. Providing affordable, convenient housing is critical to sustaining the county’s growth, ensuring that residents can live close to their workplaces.
At the same time, commercial development is booming. Several new restaurants are set to open in the Magnolia Village shopping center on North Road, adjacent to Walmart. These include popular chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, Tropical Smoothie Café, Dunkin’ Donuts, Firehouse Subs, and Waffle House.
“We’re seeing a shift,” says Stewart Haig, community development director for county of Orangeburg. “Orangeburg County is no longer just a commuter hub. People want to live and work here, and we’re building the infrastructure to support that.”
By aligning housing development with industrial growth, Orangeburg County is creating a self-sustaining cycle where people can build their lives and contribute to the local economy.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ORANGEBURG COUNTY?
As the U.S. manufacturing sector experiences a resurgence in domestic production, Orangeburg County is positioning itself as a key player in reshoring efforts. With continued investments in workforce development, infrastructure, and sustainability, Orangeburg County is poised to remain a leader in South Carolina’s economic future. “Our success isn’t just about bringing in companies,” Johnson says. “It’s about creating a place where people want to live, work, and invest in the future. Orangeburg County is more than just an industrial hub — it’s a community on the rise.”

From caring, student-focused options for public or private schools, to accelerated career training across a wide spectrum of industries, educational opportunities abound in Orangeburg County
Orangeburg County, South Carolina is a magnet for all who are hungry to learn, grow and launch their careers. From smiling elementary school students on the first day of school, to emerging talent or returning students interested in health care, business, mechatronics, truck driving or Christian ministry — the road to a brighter future begins here.
The county is home to four institutions of higher education, a united public school district and several private and Christian schools as well as three charter schools. This ecosystem of learning provides a rich landscape of opportunities to be inspired, collaborate with others and share resources for success.
That thriving network of educational professionals and facilities isn’t where the road ends for students, however: It is a foundation to propel them further toward their dreams, on a trajectory guided by the visionary leadership of the Orangeburg County School District, which takes a strategic approach to developing a skilled workforce by proactively preparing students for employment post-graduation.
By shifting the paradigm of education from being a product-focused institution to being a solutions-focused institution, students are equipped to graduate high school with not only their diploma, but with an additional skill. For example, OCSD is one of five districts in the state
to serve as a licensed apprenticeship site of Apprenticeship Carolina, a division of the S.C. Technical College System, which is designed to create and strengthen career pathways that enrich the state’s existing workforce. Students who gain this additional experience and validating credentials are distinctly prepared for their chosen fields.
FULL CIRCLE: Launching Careers
That Elevate Our County
Orangeburg County is home to some of America’s most hardworking, resilient individuals — people who overcame challenges
and built lives and businesses that have shaped the region’s character and created a culture of determination and excellence.
The county’s career centers have helped build a strong, workforceready population by expanding career and technology offerings and growing community collaboration in apprenticeship opportunities for students in their junior and senior years.
The district is home to three career centers: Cope Area Career Center in Cope; the Technology Center in Orangeburg; and the Lake Marion Technology Center in Santee. Where a normal classroom might prepare a student to pass a standardized test, these centers are designed to provide supplemental education that can elevate children in the workforce.
In addition to helping fill gaps in the workforce and regional needs — such as construction management, auto tech and certified-nursing programs — the curriculum inside the centers addresses all learning styles and levels of student abilities, resulting in a well-rounded and approachable experience.
Just as tenacity and grit are key to Orangeburg County’s DNA, so is a spirit of resourcefulness, which also plays into initiatives like the career centers. In addition to utilizing state and federal dollars each year to further develop the program offerings, OCSD leadership seeks out and taps existing assets — such as leveraging diesel engines from old school buses in the instruction of one of the most in-demand workforces in the nation: diesel mechanics.
GETTING AHEAD BEFORE GRADUATION: ORANGEBURG ADVANCED ACADEMY
Imagine how many new doors open to incoming college students when they have earned college credits before they’ve even set foot on their dream campus. That is just one of many opportunities for students that the OCSD is striving to make not only accessible, but typical— elevating the entire community along with individual student’s potential to succeed.
This is the inspiration behind the Orangeburg Advanced Academy, where the district partners with OCtech’s Early

While Orangeburg has always had early college and dual-credit programs for juniors and seniors, what makes the Advanced Academy unique is that opportunities on that same level are now available to ninth-grade students.
College program, offering students a chance to earn college credits and complete a certificate, diploma or degree before they graduate from high school.
While Orangeburg has always had early college and dual-credit programs for juniors and seniors, what makes the Advanced Academy unique is that opportunities on that same level are now available to ninth-grade students. If elected to take dual-credit courses as freshmen, those students then spend half of their day at their respective high school before they’re transported to OCtech for the rest of their classes. As these students transition to their junior and senior years, they spend the full day at OCtech.
For ambitious students who enroll in
summer classes, the ability to earn an associate degree in arts and/or sciences is on the table, too — an enormous savings for parents, who get to watch their child walk across the stage to accept both a high school diploma and college degree. Add in an apprenticeship certificate, and the student is a star applicant for many of the region’s top manufacturers or employers.
CULTIVATING BRILLIANCE: MAGNET SCHOOLS
For children who show an early interest in, or aptitude for, a specific subject, the district’s celebrated magnet schools are the perfect opportunity to nurture that student’s genius. Rigorous course work and individualized attention helps prepare these early learners for accelerated growth and a variety of careers later on.
The district is home to four magnet academies: Broadcasting and Journalism Academy (BAJA) at Edisto Elementary; Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Academy at Holly Hill Elementary; Scholars Achieving Investigating and Learning (SAIL) at Mellichamp Elementary; and the Students Taking on the Arts and Gifted Education (STAGE) Academy at Marshall Elementary.
Intentional education extends far beyond the textbook in Orangeburg County. The OCSD mission states, “To help all students develop and discover their person, purpose and platform”; all four charter schools do that by embracing learning across the four A’s: academics, athletics, activities and the arts. For example, BAJA Academy includes its own broadcast studio where students get a handson feel for how a broadcast is produced.
FROM DAY CARE TO FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Guided by the Early Learning Advisory Council, the district is nurturing students even in the early years, extending resources and curriculum to daycare centers for 2—3 year olds.
Magnet academies excel at helping educators discover a child’s unique academic talents at an early age, before they reach high school, which streamlines and focuses their family’s plan to enhance that child’s gifts from year to year and into higher education through strategic, systematic programs that start as early as kindergarten.
In fact, a recently piloted early literacy program, the Waterford program, has continued to build steam in 4K–second grade classrooms, working to close any possible achievement gaps for children learning to read, and assist teachers in propelling students to success.
Orangeburg is also home to two charter schools, Felton Laboratory School, located on the campus of South Carolina State University; and the High School for Health Professions, which is sponsored by the Limestone Charter Association. An alternative to public education is offered by Orangeburg Preparatory School, Orangeburg Christian Academy, Wesley Christian Academy and Holly Hill Academy.
A SHARED VISION FOR BRIGHTER FUTURES
The more we invest in the next generation, the more we prepare our entire region to thrive, grow and innovate in a sustainable way. Cultivating connections
The more we invest in the next generation, the more we prepare our entire region to thrive, grow and innovate in a sustainable way.
between educational institutions and local business entities is crucial to ensuring the powerful, positive momentum of the past decade continues to lift all in Orangeburg County—especially our children.
The everyday educational excellence that the OCSD is responsible for is most impactful when partnered with employers, manufacturers and thought leaders. The programs and initiatives in place—and new ideas to come—create proven pathways for the best and brightest students to not only join a talented workforce but fill any gaps.
The end result is retaining great graduates here in Orangeburg County, where they are able to successfully apply their skills and drive economic development. The greatest resource a region has is its people, and investing in access to better education and training at all levels is the key to nurturing that resource. By building a school system that functions as an inspiring ecosystem of learning, the entire region benefits.
Berkeley Charter Education Association, which is committed to bringing school choice options to all areas of South Carolina, and the Charter Institute at Erskine, which authorizes highquality charter schools to elevate educational opportunities through innovation and creativity, has brought a new educational opportunity to the Orangeburg, South Carolina, community for the 2024-2025 school year. The school will be named the Willie Jeffries School of Excellence (WJSE) in honor of football legend Coach Willie Jeffries who believes all students can succeed with the right opportunity and “Success has no ZIP Code.”
Willie Jeffries School of Excellence is a free public charter school, serving kindergarten-8th grade students, designed to attract a diverse community of learners with equal access to academic rigor, technology-infused instruction, and leadership opportunities in academics, social-emotional intelligence, community service, and athletics. With a strong focus on academics, school culture, and community, students who attend the WJSE will receive a free, world-class education.
Surrounded by a robust higher education landscape, the Orangeburg region is home to a vibrant selection of colleges and universities that are shaping the future, fostering innovation and cultivating leaders of tomorrow. From groundbreaking research to community engagement, these institutions are not only enhancing academic achievement — they are also driving economic development and cultural enrichment.

unique position in South Carolina’s educational landscape. The university also boasts cuttingedge programs like the Bachelor of Science in cybersecurity, which prepares students for the ever-evolving demands of the tech industry. For those interested in health care, the Master of Arts in speech pathology & audiology provides advanced training and opens doors to numerous career opportunities.
In addition to these specialized programs, SC State offers a comprehensive range of degrees, like agribusiness, where students can tap into South Carolina’s largest industry. They might also pursue a career in the arts with programs in music education and the music industry. This diversity of programs ensures that SC State caters to a broad spectrum of academic interests and career aspirations.
Still, SC State’s impact extends beyond academics. With an enrollment of approximately 3,000 students, the university is a vital economic engine for the local community and creates jobs, fosters local businesses and contributes to the socioeconomic development of the area. The university’s community engagement and extension programs further enhance its role as a pillar of support and growth for the local economy.
SC State’s enduring legacy is not just in its historical significance but in its ongoing contributions to education, innovation and community development, which have garnered a ranking of No. 38 in Top Public Schools in the US by US News and World Report. With its rich history, diverse academic offerings, and significant economic impact, South Carolina State University continues to be a beacon of opportunity and a cornerstone of excellence in higher education.
Claflin University
Founded in 1869, Claflin University holds the prestigious title of being the oldest historically black college or university in South Carolina, with a strong commitment to providing a supportive and enriching educational environment— something that is reflected in its diverse range of programs, including undergraduate, graduate and professional studies.
The university offers a broad spectrum of academic disciplines, with particular strengths in STEM, business, education, and the arts. Claflin’s school of natural sciences and mathematics is known for its rigorous curriculum and research opportunities, preparing students for successful careers in various scientific fields, while the school of business develops future leaders with a strong foundation in ethical business practices, and the school of education shapes the next generation of educators committed to community upliftment.
Recently, the university completed the construction of a $40 million Student Center, which not only provides a space for students with conference space, retail space, an eSports Lab, a terrace and more, but also now includes Orangeburg’s only movie theater.
With an enrollment of approximately 2,000 students, this close-knit community benefits from a low student-to-faculty ratio,
ensuring that each student receives the support necessary to thrive academically and personally. This is reflected in the school’s ranking by US News and World Report, which lists Claflin at No. 159 in US Liberal Arts Colleges, and No. 9 of all Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The university’s impact extends beyond its campus, significantly contributing to the local economy. Through employment, student spending and community service
initiatives, Claflin stimulates economic growth and fosters a spirit of collaboration and progress in Orangeburg and the surrounding areas.
Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College
Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College is a vital educational institution that has served Orangeburg, Calhoun and surrounding counties since its inception in 1968.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE
Orangeburg County’s high-quality health care providers lead with a community focus
The health care industry often receives a lot of criticism — especially when it comes to the accessibility of care in more rural regions. In Orangeburg and its surrounding areas, however, you’ll see just the opposite — a community focused on the health and vitality of all its residents, regardless of their background or location.
MUSC-Orangeburg
The health care landscape in Orangeburg changed drastically in 2023, when the Regional Medical Center in Orangeburg partnered with MUSC Health, the state’s only comprehensive academic health system.

PROPERTY TAXES
A summary of real estate property billed and paid on a specific parcel of property can be found on the County treasurers’ website: OrangeburgCounty.org
E. Madison “Matt” Stokes, County Treasurer, Room 106
Audrey Asbury, County Auditor, Room 101 Orangeburg County Administrative Centre 1437 Amelia Street, Orangeburg, SC 29115
• Property taxes may be paid at the Orangeburg County Treasurer’s Office. Real estate and personal property taxes are due and payable without penalty on or before Jan. 15 of the following calendar year. A 3% penalty is assessed on unpaid taxes Jan. 16, and if taxes are not paid by March 17, they are considered delinquent and an additional penalty of 5% must be added to the total.
• Real estate and personal property tax bills are issued to the owner of record as of Dec. 31 of the prior calendar year. If a transfer of ownership has occurred, the new owner may be liable for this bill.
• Payment verification inquiries may be directed to the Treasurer’s Office. If your mortgage company is responsible for payment of the bill, verify payment by contacting them.
• If you were 65 years of age or totally disabled on the prior Dec. 31, contact the Orangeburg County Auditor’s Office concerning eligibility requirements for the homestead exemption.
• Questions concerning assessments on boats/motors, aircraft, furniture and fixtures, manufacturing, and other personal property should be directed to the Auditor’s Office.
• If you have sold or otherwise disposed of a vehicle, contact your county auditor before paying a tax bill.
• If you have moved to a county other than Orangeburg, you will need to contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles branch to change your address on your vehicle information and your driver’s license if you have not done so already. If you pay the vehicle tax and register a vehicle and later get a new vehicle in the same tax year, you can transfer your tag to the new vehicle and not pay property taxes on the new vehicle until registration expires or renewal is required. If the vehicle tax bill is not for the vehicle you presently own, you must get a tax bill for the vehicle you want to register from the Orangeburg County Auditor’s Office.
• You may appeal the value of your vehicle by writing to the county auditor before the last day of the month that the tax is due. If your vehicle has mileage or significant damage, which makes it less valuable than the average vehicles of the same make and year, you may appeal the assessed value to the Auditor’s Office before the tax due date (last day of the month).
TAX TIPS THAT COULD SAVE YOU MONEY
Assessable Transfers:
Most real estate transfers are considered assessable transfers of interest (see exclusions, South Carolina Code of Laws 12-37-3150). Property with assessable transfer of interest is reappraised and taxed at fair market value for the year following the transfer.
Legal Residence:
If you purchased a home or mobile home and resided there during the year, you are entitled to a legal residence rate of 4%. An application must be submitted to the assessor’s office. You are allowed only one legal residence classification.
Agricultural Use Value:
All new agricultural property owners must make an application for the agricultural classification for the applicable tax year. Agricultural use expires with the sale or transfer of property. Family transactions are considered transfers. Apply early to ensure your tax bill reflects agricultural use. You must file by Jan. 15 of the following tax year.
Multi-Lot Discount:
Written application to the assessor’s office is required by May 1 for any property developer having 10 or more unsold: any property developer have ten or more unsold, unimproved lots within a homogeneous area (subdivision) must make written application for the special, multiple lot discount on the unsold lots, listing each lot to be considered. Applications are available in the assessor’s office.
Residential Builders/ Developers Exemption:
Builders and developers may be eligible for an exemption on spec houses for up to five years. To qualify, the house must be new and unoccupied as of Dec. 31 of the prior year. Also, the builder/developer must file an affidavit with the assessor’s office stating that the house qualifies for the exemption within 30 days of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy and by Jan. 31 of each subsequent tax year.
Property Destroyed by Fire or Torn Down:
If buildings on your property have been destroyed by fire or torn down, please provide the assessor’s office with a copy of the fire incident report or building demolition permit showing the date of removal in order for the assessor’s office to remove it from record.
Rollback Taxes on Agricultural Property:
Property receiving or formerly having agricultural use value within the last five years, and the use changes to other than agricultural use, will be subject to five years of rollback taxes, according to the South Carolina Code of Laws 1976, Vol. 5 12-43-220 (4). The rollback amount is the difference between the paid reduced agricultural tax assessment over the prior five years and the market value rate. When the ownership changes on the property subject to rollback taxes, the taxes will be billed in the new owner(s) name.
