Research notes
Monitored municipalities with active STR ordinances of varying stringency: Deadwood, Rapid City, Spearfish, Custer, Hill City, Sioux Falls. State-level tourism tax / sales tax applies to STRs (SDCL title 10) but tax collection is not zoning preemption. Recommend re-verification before relying on this for any post-2026-session analysis.
