The term "vehicle" includes motorcycles, automobiles, trailers, vans, and boats regularly parked or garaged overnight in South Carolina.
Military personnel and their dependents living temporarily in South Carolina may drive here without obtaining a South Carolina's drivers license by maintaining home state driver's license and tags. To avoid paying South Carolina property tax, get tax exempt form from Naval Legal (Bldg 302). South Carolina licensed military personnel must maintain a valid license at all times. When stationed outside the state, you may renew one time by mail after obtaining proper forms from the Department of Highways before the expiration date of your license. To make sure your license is kept current, you must notify the department within 10 days after any changes of name or address.
