CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS
We are accepting credit card payments online for ALL current property taxes. Credit card payments are available via the Internet and are now accepted across the counter in the Treasurer’s Office in St. George or Summerville.

Whenever a credit card is used for any purchase, the merchant does not receive the full amount that is charged to the credit card. Online businesses sometime recover this cost by adding a "handling fee" to the cost of the merchandise ordered. To pay for this service, PayPal will charge you a convenience fee of 2.2% + $.30 transaction fee. This fee will show up as a separate charge on your bill and Dorchester County does not receive any of this fee.

VEHICLE TAX PAYMENTS
Delinquent VEHICLE Tax payments CAN be paid by credit card.

When making a payment online, you will need to supply additional information about your auto insurance coverage on vehicle tax payments.
