    By completing this application you are electing to participate in the Advanced Installment Payment program for Real Property Taxes, according to SC Code of Laws Section 12-45-75 and County of Dorchester Ordinance #09-01. An installment election is not allowed for personal vehicle, boat/motor, or taxes paid through escrow. Participants pay five (5) installments, based on the previous year’s tax amount. The final balance will be billed by November 15th of the tax year. The payment of installments and the credit allowed arising from these payments in no way alters the due date, penalty schedule, and enforced collection of property taxes as provided by law. Written notification is required to opt out of the installment payment option. If a taxpayer electing to pay in installments does not timely make each payment pursuant to the schedule in subsection (4), the county may refuse to accept all other installment payments. If the county refuses to accept other installment payments, the remaining balance is due in accordance with Section 12-45-70
