Gov. Rhoden Unveils Property Tax Savings Map
PIERRE, S.D. - Today, Governor Larry Rhoden unveiled a county map that shows how much South Dakotans save under his plan to cut property taxes, SB 96. You can find that map here.
"South Dakotans deserve a real property tax cut - and that is exactly what my plan delivers," said Governor Larry Rhoden. "This new interactive map allows South Dakotans to see firsthand how much they can save under my plan. It puts numbers behind our promise to deliver relief for homeowners across our state."
Governor Rhoden previously introducedhis plan to cut property taxes, which gives counties the option to replace their share of property taxes with a half-cent sales tax. County commissions could implement this tax cut, or it could be referrable to a vote of the people, or the people could also initiate it for a vote in their local community. The proposal would also help counties draw more revenues from tourists and out-of-state visitors.
