Property tax refunds for veterans and spouses
South Dakota allows qualifying veterans and their surviving spouses who have not remarried to request past property tax refunds. Eligible veterans have paraplegia or loss or loss of use of both legs. The home must meet the exemption's design requirements and be owned and occupied for the full calendar year taxed. Refund requests can cover taxes paid in any of the previous four years after missing an owner-occupied classification or exemption deadline. The county board can approve or reject requests, which must follow the state's tax refund procedures. Refund costs are shared proportionally among the affected public funds and taxing districts.
