MONCKS CORNER -- About 1,800 Berkeley County residents are in danger of losing their properties because of overdue taxes.
The numbers are almost 30 percent higher than this time last year, according to county Tax Collector Virginia Hamilton, who attributes the increase to the economy.
"People are coming in and telling me they just don't have the money," Hamilton said this week.
