The bill amends South Dakota's existing law regarding the office of county director of equalization. It establishes that each organized county will have this office, while also allowing for greater collaboration between counties. Specifically, the bill permits counties to enter into agreements with one another to share the responsibilities and services of the county director of equalization, as outlined in Chapter 1-24.
This change aims to enhance efficiency and resource sharing among counties, potentially leading to improved equalization services. By enabling cooperation, the bill seeks to address any challenges that individual counties may face in maintaining their own offices, thereby promoting a more streamlined approach to property assessment and equalization across the state.
