Property tax rollbacks pick up steam at South Dakota Capitol
State legislators say homeowners won't stand for another year of inaction on calls for relief
PIERRE — It appears tax relief is coming to South Dakota homeowners.
Legislators at the state Capitol on Tuesday advanced a trio of proposals aimed at addressing sustained calls for action from constituents burdened with increasing tax assessments in recent years.
“If we don’t get some real property tax relief for our citizens, I will help lead the charge to get something on the ballot to provide our citizens with some real relief,” Sen. Taffy Howard said on the Senate floor while urging her colleagues to support Senate Bill 191, among nearly two dozen proposals that have been considered this year by the state Legislature.
