South Carolina Tax deed and surviving liens

[John Jilnicki]

In South Carolina, when you buy property from teh County at a tax auction and get a tax deed from the County, and there is an HOA, but there is no HOA lien on file, is the property still subject to liens for prior HOA fees?

Also, are liens filed by utility companies wiped clean by the tax sale?

Appreciate the comments as I found very little on line so far.
