How South Dakota Tax Sales Work

Sale Type
Tax Lien Certificate
South Dakota sells tax lien certificates at auction. The investor pays the delinquent taxes and receives a certificate with the right to collect interest. If the owner does not redeem, the investor can eventually obtain the deed.
Redemption Period
3 yrs
County treasurer sells a tax certificate (interest bid down from a 10% statutory max per SDCL 10-23-2/10-23-8). Owner may redeem any time before a tax deed issues; tax deed proceedings cannot begin until 3 years after the certificate sale (SDCL 10-25-1), and the holder must then serve a notice giving an additional 60 days to redeem (SDCL 10-25-5/-8). Effective redemption is ~3 years, not 2.
