South Dakota property owners would stop paying most local property tax mill levies, which currently fund county buildings, schools, libraries, and other services—instead, the state would appropriate money to local governments to cover these expenses. The bill eliminates or reduces to zero the mill levies that counties, schools, and other political subdivisions currently use to fund their operations. This represents a major shift from local property taxation to state-level funding for local services.
