South Dakota homeowners who own single-family houses will receive a property tax credit of up to $500 on their 2027 tax bills. The state will fund this tax credit by transferring $101 from the housing infrastructure fund to the general fund and appropriating $202 total from the general fund and budget reserve fund to the Department of Revenue to cover the lost tax revenue.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment replaced the three $60,000,000 appropriations with $101 placeholder amounts, indicating the actual funding levels for the property tax credit program are still being negotiated while the bill's substantive structure and mechanics remain intact. This change significantly WEAKENS the bill's immediate fiscal impact, converting it from a $180 million appropriation into a token placeholder awaiting final legislative agreement on the actual amount.
