Lower your car taxes in five minutes Edgefielddaily.com web posted August 30, 2005 COUNTY – Paying car taxes in Edgefield County is painful. With one of the highest tax rates in the state most wonder where relief will come from on the matter. Edgefield Daily.com hopes to offer that help. If you want to lower your car taxes, follow these simple steps and watch your car taxes drop drastically. The first step is to get an honest appraisal of your vehicle. Edgefield County bills out its taxes on a “highest and best use”, meaning the value of your vehicle is set as if it is in perfect shape, therefore your taxes are the highest they can be. If you pay them you are doing just what county managers want you to do, fuss, gripe, complain, and do nothing about it. Kelly Blue Book will allow you to price your vehicle as is. Include all information about your vehicle as well as your zip code and get a true value. Print this information off and take it to the Edgefield County Auditor’s Office along with your tax bill. Staff in the Auditor’s Office will reprint your tax bill and watch as the savings become apparent. Next, take your tax bill to the Treasurer’s Office and pay your new lowered tax bill. The savings can be as much as fifty per cent of the original bill. The next step is to remember at election time that the County Council, who appoints the County Administrator that oversees the policies of the county, is allowing you to be “taken to the cleaners” on your car taxes on purpose. These long serving councilmen are the ones responsible for your tax woes. If you would like to see permanent changes in your tax bill, replace them, which will lead to the replacement of the County Administrator, which will lead to lower taxes. It is that simple.
