PROPERTY TAX COLLECTION
One of the main duties of the treasurer's office is to collect property taxes, which accounts for the majority of revenue in county budgets. The treasurer, as the tax collector, is responsible for collecting all property taxes for the county, cities, school districts and any other political district authorized to levy real estate taxes.
MOTOR VEHICLES
Transferring titles, licensing and recording or cancelling liens are other responsibilities of the county treasurer's office. The information from this program all goes to our central office, the Division of Motor Vehicles in Pierre. A 4% tax is charged on newly purchased vehicles when applicable. SD is an electronic lien title state, meaning that if you buy a vehicle and have money borrowed on it, the title becomes electronic until it is paid off or in some other situations that are described by law. You can check with the treasurer's office for more information. The month that each individual or business renews their license is based on the first letter of their last name or their business, whichever applies. Licenses can be renewed up to 3 months before they expire.

The county treasurer's office is in charge of managing all of the county's funds. Because the treasurer receives money from the other county offices, they are responsible for investing that money.
