South Dakota municipalities can now create a capital improvement board and impose a local gross receipts tax of up to one percent on sales to fund public improvement projects. The five-member board—consisting of one city official and four residents—must approve any ordinance establishing this new tax. This gives cities an additional funding tool beyond existing taxes to pay for infrastructure and other capital needs.
