SDCL § 7-25-8: Building plans and specifications to be on file--Petty offense to permit removal.

One copy of the plans and specifications for any building to be erected shall be on file in the office of the county auditor at all times from the beginning of the publication of the advertisement for bids until the completion of the building. Any county auditor who allows or permits the original of any building plans or specifications filed in the office to be removed from the office commits a petty offense.
