SDCL § 10-13-35.12: Exemption from limitation on tax levy increase for taxing district that has not levied property tax for general fund purposes since 1996.

Any taxing district that did not levy a property tax for general fund purposes in any year since 1996 is exempt from the provisions of § 10-13-35 if the taxing district establishes the amount of revenue payable from taxes on real property for general fund purposes pursuant to § 10-13-35.13. Each year thereafter such taxing district may increase the amount of revenue payable from property taxes by applying the growth and the index factor pursuant to § 10-13-35. Any excess levy imposed on property pursuant to § 10-13-36 terminates when a general fund levy is imposed by such taxing district pursuant to § 10-13-35.13.
