Half-Cent Tax Cuts Property Taxes | Pierre News

South Dakota just gave counties a new way to ease property tax pain: a half-cent sales tax that directly slashes homeowner taxes. Passed as Senate Bill 96, the law lets local governments collect extra sales tax—every penny goes straight toward lowering property taxes for people who live in their homes. It’s a targeted fix for areas like the Black Hills and Sioux Falls suburbs where skyrocketing home values have hit residents hardest. Counties can adopt it now, with relief potentially showing up on tax bills as early as 2027. It’s a smart, direct way to balance the burden—and give homeowners breathing room.
