How Do Taxes and Fees Work When Buying a Car in South Carolina?
​When you purchase a vehicle from a licensed dealer, our team handles the initial processing with the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. We submit the titling documents, collect the title fee and registration fee, and issue your initial license plate or transfer your existing license plate. Once the sale is registered in the state system, the local county auditor receives the vehicle record and generates your county personal property tax notice for the upcoming year.

A Honda radio security code is an anti-theft PIN—typically a 5-digit security code for standard audio units or a 4-digit PIN for navigation systems—that locks the infotainment head unit whenever electrical power is completely cut off. Disconnecting or replacing the vehicle battery resets the audio unit memory but does not erase the security program; instead, the loss of voltage triggers an automatic anti-theft lockout that requires re-entering the numeric security code to reactivate the sound system.
