This bill changes how certain agricultural land is classified for property tax purposes in South Dakota. Land that has been seeded to grass for at least ten years and is used for animal grazing, left unharvested, or is native grassland must now be assessed as "noncropland" rather than cropland, which typically results in lower property tax values. Landowners can request reclassification by August 1st, and if the state doesn't respond within 30 days, they can appeal the decision.
