Property tax bills sent to South Dakota taxpayers must now include a QR code and website address that directs taxpayers to state information about property taxes and tax relief programs maintained by the Department of Revenue. The bill requires that tax bills notify taxpayers they can access additional tax information by scanning the QR code or visiting the provided internet address.
The amendment removes a requirement that the notice about accessing tax information through the QR code and internet address be printed in at least twelve-point font, thereby WEAKENING the bill's original emphasis on making the information easily visible to taxpayers.
This change simply converted the bill from its engrossed (committee-reviewed) form to its enrolled (final passed) form by removing internal legislative markings and adding standard enrollment signatures and certification language. The substantive policy requiring property tax bills to include QR codes and internet addresses linking to state tax information remained unchanged.
