Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — S.C. Code § 12-43-220(e): all other real property not otherwise provided for is assessed at six percent of fair market value. South Carolina assesses by property class rather than by county — 4% legal residence (c), 4% agricultural held by individuals (d)(1)(A), 6% agricultural held by corporations (d)(1)(B), 10.5% manufacturing and utility (a)(1). Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
Tax title is not a warranty deed and can be challenged; banks often will not lend on raw tax titles. Quiet title (or equivalent) is the practical path to insurable resale title after the redemption period.
South Carolina redeemable tax-deed county. Cherokee County Delinquent Tax Office (Gaffney) runs an annual public auction at 110 Railroad Ave after execution, seizure, and three consecutive weekly newspaper ads. Opening bid is submitted for the Forfeited Land Commission equal to all delinquent taxes, penalties, costs, plus current-year taxes. Registration is online-only and must be redone every year (2025 cycle: last registration day Dec 4, 2025; sale historically early December — e.g. Dec 8, 2025). 12-month statutory redemption with tiered interest (3%/6%/9%/12% by quarter). Do not confuse with Cherokee County, TX (mvbataxsales listings) or Cherokee County, NC judicial foreclosures.
Inherited from South Carolina rather than researched for Cherokee: type, redemption, returns, statute.
