Property tax bills sent to South Dakota taxpayers must now include a QR code and website address that directs taxpayers to state information about property taxes and tax relief programs maintained by the Department of Revenue. The bill requires that tax bills notify taxpayers they can access additional tax information by scanning the QR code or visiting the provided internet address.
The amendment removes a requirement that the notice about accessing tax information be printed in at least twelve-point font, which WEAKENS the bill by making the notification less visible and potentially harder for taxpayers to read. This change reduces the emphasis on ensuring taxpayers can easily access the state's property tax information website.
This amendment converted the bill from its engrossed (committee-revised) form to its enrolled (final passed) form by removing internal legislative markup and adding standard enactment language and signature blocks. No substantive changes were made to the bill's requirements—it still mandates that property tax bills include a QR code and internet address linking to state property tax information.
