Auditor value and Treasurer payment are different tasks.
▾
For property tax bills, payments, receipts or delinquent/payment-contract questions, open the Richland County Treasurer page.

Search “Richland County,” not “Lexington County”
Because Lexington is a village, not a county, “Lexington County Auditor” can lead to wrong or low-quality pages. Use Richland County official links.
Use parcel number after first match
Once you find the property by address, copy the parcel number. It is more reliable for maps, tax payments and follow-up calls.
Do not confuse village income tax with property tax
Village tax/payment pages may handle local income tax or utilities. Real estate property taxes are handled through Richland County Treasurer.
