South Dakota cities can now create property tax rebate programs that give homeowners money back on their municipal property taxes if they meet criteria set by the city. Cities that establish such a program must give rebates to anyone who qualifies under the rules the city creates. This is a new option for municipalities—they're not required to offer rebates, but they now have the legal authority to do so.
This change converted the bill from its introduced form to its final enrolled version, adding formal legislative attestations and signature blocks required for enactment while preserving the substantive policy allowing municipalities to establish property tax rebate programs for owner-occupied single-family dwellings. No changes were made to the bill's core purpose or requirements.
