Director of Equalization
OFFICE HOURS: Monday-Friday 8:00 am-5:00 pm
The Kingsbury County Director of Equalization Office is responsible for annually appraising all real property within the county to ensure fair and equitable property assessments. Residential, commercial, and other non-agricultural properties are valued at their full and true market value, while agricultural land is assessed based on its productivity value as established by South Dakota law. These assessments provide the foundation for the property tax system and help ensure that taxes are distributed fairly among property owners. The office also maintains property records, processes ownership changes, administers property tax relief programs, and serves as a resource for property owners with questions regarding assessments and valuations.
