South Dakota property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in South Dakota?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. South Dakota adds its own break: assessment freeze for 65+ or disabled owners with income under $56,595 single or $66,885 multi-member (2026).

Homestead: owner-occupied classification gives primary homes a lower school tax levy. South Dakota has no income tax; a 2025 law (SB 216) added 3% caps on yearly growth in owner-occupied assessments.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
