This bill removes the two-dollar-per-front-foot annual cap that currently limits how much property owners can be assessed for road improvements in South Dakota. Instead of being restricted to that fixed amount, county supervisors will now be able to assess properties for whatever amount they determine is necessary for road repairs and improvements, though the assessment still cannot exceed the amount requested in the original petition. This gives local governments more flexibility to fund road maintenance and upgrades based on actual costs rather than a statutory limit.
