Methodology

How the combined rate is built

A sales tax rate is a sum. The state sets one rate for every sale in the state; the county, the city and any special district (transit authority, hospital district, improvement district) the address sits in each add their own. The combined rate is those components added together, and the page lists every one with the authority that levies it and the date it took effect, so the total can be checked line by line.

Combined rate  =  state rate + county rate + city rate + district rates
Tax            =  purchase amount × combined rate ÷ 100

Source and effective date

Every rate on this page comes from the South Dakota Department of Revenue, Municipal Tax Schedule, the file dated July 1, 2026 with rates effective July 1, 2026, read on October 8, 2026. The file states one effective date for the whole table and none per jurisdiction, so every component is dated by it. Sales tax rates are not tax-year figures: they change on the first day of a quarter, most often January, April, July and October 1. The snapshot behind these pages is rebuilt from the DOR file on the fifth of those months.

South Dakota counties levy no general sales tax, so there are no county pages; outside a municipality the state rate applies.
Municipalities marked with an asterisk on SD DOR's schedule also levy a 1% gross receipts tax on lodging, prepared food, alcohol and admissions (the schedule's -1 line); it is not part of the general rate shown and is noted on those city pages.
SD DOR reissues the schedule on January 1 and July 1; components are dated by that issue date.

Limitations

General merchandise only. Groceries, prepared food, lodging, motor vehicles, fuel, alcohol and services are taxed at different rates or not at all, and that differs by state and within South Dakota.
A ZIP code is not a jurisdiction. ZIP codes cross county, city and district lines, so a receipt's ZIP does not set the rate; the taxing jurisdictions the address sits in do. That is why there are no ZIP pages here.
Where the rate is measured. South Dakota is a destination-based state: the rate at the address the goods are delivered to applies.
Special districts that cover part of a jurisdiction (an address-range improvement district, a transit area that stops at a road) are listed under "other rate areas" where the DOR lists them and left out where it lists them only by address.
Caps and thresholds (a surtax that applies only to the first $5,000 of an item, a maximum tax per sale) are not modeled; the split assumes the full rate on the full amount.

Last reviewed: October 2026. The state table was checked against each revenue department's page on October 8, 2026; the local snapshots are refreshed from the DOR files every quarter and checked by scripts/check-sales-tax.mjs before each deploy.

Frequently asked questions

What is the South Dakota state sales tax rate?

4.2%, as stated by the South Dakota Department of Revenue, Sales & Use Tax. Local governments add up to 4.2% on top, so the combined rate reaches 8.4% in the highest-taxed places.

Why do two South Dakota cities have different sales tax rates?

The state rate is the same everywhere; counties, cities and special districts add their own rates, and each city sits in a different set of them. The county and city tables on this page show every combination the South Dakota Department of Revenue lists.

Does a ZIP code tell me the South Dakota sales tax rate?

No. ZIP codes cross county, city and district lines; the rate depends on the taxing jurisdictions the address sits in. Use the county or city page for the address instead.

When do South Dakota sales tax rates change?

Local rate changes almost always take effect on the first day of a quarter (January, April, July or October 1), after a local vote or ordinance. This page's rates are effective July 1, 2026; the snapshot is rebuilt from the DOR file on the fifth of each of those months.
