On January 27, 2021, the South Dakota Supreme Court in a case entitled James Pirmantgen vs. Roberts County, South Dakota ruled that Roberts County’s method of real estate tax assessment was contrary to constitutional and statutory law.
After the Roberts County Director of Equalization applied an across-the-board 10% increase to the value of non-agricultural properties for the 2018 tax year, Pirmantgen challenged the tax assessment on 16 of his properties.
