How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
If the house is on North Charleston's Charleston County side, the estate is opened in the Charleston County Probate Court; for the Dorchester or Berkeley side, it's that county's probate court.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
A North Charleston foreclosure is filed as a lawsuit, and after the judgment the house is auctioned by the Master-in-Equity of the county where it sits. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Unpaid property taxes on the Charleston County side are collected by the Charleston County Treasurer and can put the house in the yearly tax sale, after which the owner still has the redemption year.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of North Charleston's code enforcement handles complaints about overgrowth, abandoned vehicles and unsafe or vacant houses.

Selling for cash in North Charleston: questions
My North Charleston address is in Dorchester County. Does that change the sale?
Only the offices: Dorchester County's treasurer, probate court and magistrates instead of Charleston County's. The cash sale and the attorney closing work the same way.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in North Charleston?
South Carolina requires a licensed attorney to close the sale; the attorney pays the loan and any delinquent taxes. Once you accept an offer, most Charleston County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
