South Dakota school districts' property tax levies are being reduced starting in 2022: the general fund levy drops from $6.68 to $5.25 per $1,000 of property value, the agricultural property levy decreases from $1.44 to $0.41 per $1,000, and the owner-occupied home levy falls from $3.23 to $0.15 per $1,000. This bill also revises how state funding supports general and special education to account for the lower local tax revenue.
