Summary

The resolution would amend the state constitution to restrict how much a property's assessed value can rise each year to 2% and to limit total ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of that assessed value. It applies to all real‑property owners in South Dakota, with an exemption for taxes used to pay interest on voter‑approved debt before July 1 2028. The measure was deferred and ultimately failed.
