If you dispose of a vehicle or move out of state before the tag decal expires, you may be eligible for a partial refund for the unexpired period.

Note: transferring an active tag to another vehicle does not qualify for a partial refund since any remaining period on the transferred tag applies to the second vehicle.

In order to process a refund, the Auditor’s Office must have the following two documents:

1. Proof the tag has been cancelled.
1. To cancel your plate, please visit the SCDMV.
2. Request a tag return receipt.
2. Proof you no longer own vehicle.
1. If the vehicle was sold, we need a Bill of Sale.
2. If the vehicle has been moved out of state, we need a copy of the new registration.
3. If the vehicle was wrecked, we need a letter from the insurance declaring the vehicle a total loss.
4. If the vehicle was stolen, we need a copy of the police report.

In lieu of a bill of sale, out of state registration, or insurance letter, we will also accept a completed Vehicle Disposal Form. Our office cannot accept a disposal form for a vehicle reported stolen. Both documents should be sent to the Auditor’s office for processing:

1. In person or Mail:
   Greenville County Auditor
   301 University Ridge
   Suite S-2000
   Greenville, SC 29601
2. Fax: 864.467.5960
3. Email: GCAuditor@greenvillecounty.org

Tax Collector will mail a check once refund has been processed.
