TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING 
SECTION 12-51-90, RELATING TO THE REDEMPTION OF REAL PROPERTY AND THE 
ASSIGNMENT OF A PURCHASER'S INTEREST, SO AS TO EXPAND THE ABILITY TO PAY A 
DELINQUENT TAX TO ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY.

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Section 12-51-90(A) of the S.C. Code is amended to 
read:

 (A) The defaulting taxpayer or any other individual or entity, any grantee from the 
owner, or any mortgage or judgment creditor may within twelve months from the 
date of the delinquent tax sale redeem each item of real estate by paying to 
the person officially charged with the collection of delinquent taxes, assessments, 
penalties, and costs, together with interest as provided in subsection (B) of 
this section. If prior to the expiration of the redemption period, the 
purchaser assigns his interest in any real property purchased at a delinquent 
tax sale, the grantee from the successful bidder shall furnish the person 
officially charged with the collection of delinquent taxes a conveyance, 
witnessed and notarized. The person officially charged with the collection of 
delinquent taxes shall replace the successful bidder's name and address with 
the grantee's name and address in the delinquent tax sale book.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
