Property Taxes in Sioux Falls
Sioux Falls' property tax picture is a real, honest counterpoint to South Dakota's overall low-tax reputation: the city's own cited effective rate (~1.18%) and Minnehaha County's own cited rate (~1.16%) both run modestly above this project's ~1.02% national comparison figure -- even though the state levies no income tax at all.
