2 South Dakota Communities to See Municipal Tax Changes

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Two South Dakota communities will soon be implementing municipal tax changes.

The state's Business Tax Division says the communities that will see changes starting Jan. 1 are Astoria and Buffalo Chip.

Astoria will increase its 1 percent general sales and use tax rate to 2 percent, while Buffalo Chip will impose a new 2 percent general sales and use tax rate.

South Dakota municipalities are able to implement new tax rates or change existing tax rates on Jan. 1 or July 1 each year.
