HB 1032 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

eliminate a limit on the accumulation of the unused index factor for property taxation.

HB 1032 eliminates a 10% cap on how much unused property tax revenue authority counties and municipalities in South Dakota can accumulate from prior years. Currently, local governments could only use up to the prior three years' total of unused tax revenue calculations or 10% of the tax base, whichever was lower. The bill removes the 10% limit, allowing local governments to utilize all accumulated unused tax revenue authority without this restriction. This directly affects South Dakota counties and municipalities that collect property taxes, changing how they calculate annual tax revenue limits. The change modifies specific sections of state tax law (§ 10-13-35.4 and § 10-13-35.5) to remove the percentage cap.
