South Dakota taxing districts (like school districts and counties) must now hold a public hearing before they can vote to collect more property tax revenue than they did the previous year. The bill requires county auditors to calculate a "revenue-neutral rate" each year that shows what tax rate would produce the same revenue as last year, and any taxing district that wants to exceed that amount must first get approval from its governing body after a public hearing. This change gives taxpayers advance notice and a chance to be heard before their local government increases property tax collections.
