The sale, in numbers

The published list carries 724 properties for the November 9 sale. One data note, stated plainly: the county's published list for this sale does not carry amounts due or minimum bids for these parcels, so neither do we. The report for this sale is the complete parcel list exactly as the county published it — no estimated amounts, no invented figures. What you are buying is completeness and currency: every parcel, kept current as the county's list changes, instead of a stale PDF pulled weeks before the sale.

How this South Carolina sale works

South Carolina sells redeemable tax deeds, and the bidding is premium (highest bid wins) — it is not a bid-down interest auction. If the owner redeems within 12 months of the sale, the buyer gets the bid back plus interest that steps up the longer redemption takes: 3% in the first quarter, then 6%, 9%, and 12% in the final quarter. Critically, that interest is capped at the taxes-and-costs amount — every dollar of premium you bid above it earns nothing, which is why disciplined ceilings matter more in South Carolina than almost anywhere else.

Before Monday: how to work this list

Start from the full list on the Bamberg County page linked below and work it down to a bid list before sale day: screen for the areas and property types you actually buy, verify each finalist against county records, and confirm registration, deposit and payment rules with the county tax sale office well before November 9. The sale is in 5 days; the buyers who win it are the ones who did the sorting in advance, not the ones scrolling on sale day.

Questions

Why doesn't the report show amounts owed?
The county's published list for this sale does not include amounts due for these parcels. We publish data exactly as the county releases it and never invent figures — the report is the complete, current parcel list; amounts can be confirmed per-parcel in the county's tax records.

When does the buyer get the deed?
Not at the sale. The owner has 12 months from the sale date to redeem by repaying the bid plus tiered interest (3% to 12%). Only if the property is not redeemed does the successful bidder receive a tax deed after the period expires.
