COUNTIES FUND PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION

South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden has proposed allowing counties to implement a half-percent sales tax to help fund property tax reductions for homeowners. The plan would shift some of the property tax burden to consumers, including tourists, by increasing sales tax in participating counties. Supporters say it could save homeowners hundreds of dollars annually, while critics argue it increases sales tax and changes longstanding tax policy. Do you agree with this proposal?
