S.C. Code Ann. § 12-49-1220 — Procedures for providing notice of levy and sale

(A) In providing the notice of levy and sale required in Section 12-49-1190 relating to mobile or manufactured homes, the tax collector shall comply with the procedures provided for in subsections (B) or (C) and (D). This section does not require the tax collector to send more than one notice of levy to a single lienholder at the same mailing address that is revealed multiple times by compliance with the different procedures provided for in this section. If a single lienholder's name at different mailing addresses is revealed or would have been revealed by compliance with the procedures provided pursuant to this section, notice of levy must be sent to the lienholder at all these mailing addresses.
(B) For liens created before January 1, 1995, the tax collector shall provide the notice of levy and sale to the lienholders contained on the certificate of title issued by the department. To obtain the name and address of the lienholders, the tax collector shall either: (a) forward to the department a form provided below requesting the name and address of all lienholders shown on the certificate of title or (b) obtain from official department records the names and addresses of all lienholders shown on the certificate of title, to include the information listed on the form below. The delinquent tax collector may not sell the property without either a return of this form or official department records if records reflect the existence of a lienholder.
To the Department of ______________________:
I have been instructed by the county treasurer to levy and sell the following personal property:
Please provide me with the lienholders' name and address as shown on the certificate of title:
NAME: ____________________________________________
ADDRESS: _________________________________________
DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL:_____________________
VIN NUMBER:_____________
LIENHOLDER: _____________________________________
LIENHOLDERS' ADDRESS: _________________________.
(C) For liens created on or after January 1, 1995, the tax collector shall provide the notice of levy and sale to the lienholders identified on the forms provided to the county department responsible for registering manufactured housing pursuant to the licensing and moving permit procedures provided for in Chapter 17, Title 31 or official department records if the records reflect the existence of a lienholder.
(D)(1) In addition to complying with the procedures provided in either subsection (B) or (C), for tax years beginning January 1, 2007, and after that time, the tax collector shall send the notice of levy and sale required by this article to the lienholders at the addresses shown on the most current collateral list provided by the lienholders holding a lien on the mobile or manufactured home to the tax collector pursuant to Section 12-49-1230. If a lienholder's most current collateral list, including any supplement, fails to disclose to the tax collector the lienholder's lien on a home that is to be sold, the lienholder is not entitled to notice pursuant to this subsection. If the collateral lists of two or more lienholders show the same mobile or manufactured home as their collateral, all the lienholders must be notified of the tax sale.
(2) If a lienholder provides the tax collector with a supplemental collateral list as described in Section 12-49-1230(B) after July first of any given year and the tax collector intends to sell a mobile or manufactured home shown on that supplemental list for which the lienholder could not be identified properly by the tax collector's compliance with the procedures provided in subsections (B) or (C) and (D)(1), the tax collector shall give a newly identified lienholder or to a lienholder at the newly identified address, or both, the notice required by this subsection.
(a) If there are sixty-five or more days between the receipt by the tax collector of the supplemental collateral list and the date of the scheduled tax sale, the tax collector shall deliver to the newly identified lienholder or at the newly identified address, or both, the notice required by Section 12-49-1190 in the same manner and under the same timelines as provided in that section.
(b) If there are fewer than sixty-five days, but at least forty-five days between the receipt by the tax collector of the supplemental collateral list and the date of the scheduled tax sale, the tax collector shall deliver to the newly identified lienholder or at the newly identified address, or both, the notice required by Section 12-49-1190 in the same manner as required pursuant to that section, except that the notice must be given no fewer than twenty days before the date of the scheduled tax sale.
(c) If the tax sale has already occurred by the time the tax collector receives the supplemental collateral list, or if there are fewer than forty-five days between the receipt by the tax collector of the supplemental collateral list and the date of the scheduled tax sale, the tax collector is not required to deliver to the newly identified lienholder or at the newly identified address, or both, a notice pursuant to subsection (D)(2). Except to the extent that they are entitled to receive notice pursuant to subsections (B) or (C) and (D)(1), the only notice the newly identified lienholders, or known lienholders at a newly identified address, are entitled to receive pursuant to this subitem is a notice of their right of redemption pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 51, Title 12.
