limit annual valuation increases on owner-occupied single-family dwellings and nonagricultural property.

HB 1036 would limit annual property tax increases for South Dakota homeowners of single-family residences and nonagricultural property to a maximum of 3% per year. This affects most residential homeowners and nonfarm property owners by capping how much their assessed tax value can rise annually, unless specific exceptions apply. The cap does not apply if ownership changes, the property's use changes, or major additions (increasing value over 40%) are made, but minor renovations or expansions under 40% value increase are excluded. This policy aims to provide stability in property tax assessments for qualifying properties.
