Annual Ownership Certificates Mailed
The Aiken County Assessor's Office mailed Annual Ownership Certificates on Friday, November 21, to certain property owners.
This mailing is a result of the legislation that occurred after the South Carolina Property Tax Reform Act of 2006 was enacted. This is the first time Aiken County has been required to do such a mailing, which is due to the change in the state law.
Approximately 8,000 certificates were mailed. They will be sent to primarily property owners who are defined by law as “not natural persons”. To explain, they will be mailed to those people who own real estate through a legal entity. A “legal entity” means a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated association, trust, etc.
