make an exception for improvement districts from a limit on revenue growth for purposes of property taxation.
SB 230 creates an exception for "improvement districts" (defined under South Dakota Chapter 7-25A) to the standard 3% annual limit on property tax revenue growth. This allows these districts to collect additional property tax revenue when property values increase due to improvements, annexations, or boundary changes - exceeding the usual cap. The exception specifically applies to revenue generated from property taxes tied to those improvements, not general district taxes. It directly affects improvement districts and property owners within them by enabling higher tax collections during development phases. The bill amends Section 10-13-35 of South Dakota law to clarify this exception for property tax revenue calculations.
