Research notes

The only durable state-level residential zoning preemption in South Dakota. Mirrors the pattern in ~35 other states. Permitted local controls (appearance standards — roof pitch, siding, foundation, minimum width — lot-size requirements, placement standards) remain valid so long as they apply equally to site-built homes. Preemption runs to single-unit HUD-Code (post-1976) homes on individual lots; mobile-home parks remain subject to separate district designations, and park-model / pre-HUD mobile homes are not protected.
