What the figures are

This page reproduces the Department of Revenue's total tax rate for each municipality, for agricultural (AG), owner-occupied (OO) and other (OTH) property, with the city, county and school levies it is made of, in dollars per $1,000 of taxable value. The report gives school levies in that unit (for example "Owner-Occupied $2.954/1,000 of value" for the statewide general fund levy) and every printed total equals its city + county + school levies. There are 352 rows for 310 municipalities: a city that spans counties or school districts has one row for each part. Township and special district levies (fire, water and others) are in other tables of the report and are not included, so the total is not necessarily every levy on a bill. Period: assessments 2023, taxes payable 2024, from the Department of Revenue's Property Tax Statistical Report for fiscal year 2024 (the newest edition on dor.sd.gov on the date checked).

AG, OO, OTH. Agricultural property, owner-occupied residential property, and other property (commercial, industrial and non-owner-occupied residential). The school levy, and so the total, differs by class; the city and county levies do not. (Report column headings)

No city levy. 10 rows print "-" in the city levy column; their totals equal the county and school levies alone. (Report table)

Rows shown as printed but checked

Every row is shown exactly as the source prints it. This one failed one of this page's checks, so it is marked † and left out of rankings, medians and the drawings; it was not changed.

Taxable value is not market value and the conversion was not confirmed from the report, so no example bill is computed.

Questions

What is the property tax rate in South Dakota?

South Dakota publishes no single rate. This page reproduces the Department of Revenue's total tax rate for each municipality, for agricultural (AG), owner-occupied (OO) and other (OTH) property, with the city, county and school levies it is made of, in dollars per $1,000 of taxable value. For 2023 pay 2024 it runs from $7.922 per $1,000 in Lowry to $30.179 per $1,000 in Spencer; the median municipal area is $15.401 per $1,000.

Which South Dakota municipal area has the highest owner-occupied total tax rate?

Spencer, at $30.179 per $1,000, among the 351 municipal areas ranked here; Lowry is lowest at $7.922 per $1,000. Lake Andes is shown as printed but not ranked, because its row fails a check described on this page.
