What it does
South Dakota offers an owner-occupied classification plus assessment freeze and reduction programs for seniors and people with disabilities.
Who qualifies
Owner-occupants; seniors and disabled homeowners within income limits.
Confirm the home is your primary residence and that you owned and lived in it by the qualifying date your county uses.
Find your local office. Apply with your county director of equalization.
Gather proof: usually a deed or closing statement, a driver's license or state ID at the property address, and (for senior, disability or veteran relief) proof of age, disability rating or income.
File and keep a copy. Filing is free.
Check your next tax bill or assessment notice to confirm the exemption appears.
