Majority Leader Odenbach outlines property tax issue ahead of interim study

SDPB

For the third time in four years, state lawmakers will study property taxes. While prior efforts focused on the state’s property tax structure, this one focuses on reducing owner-occupied taxes.

SDPB’s Lee Strubinger spoke with Majority Leader Scott Odenbach in the House of Representatives chamber about how he sees the issue in the state.

Odenbach said the group must look at spending by school districts and county governments.

The interim study group has not scheduled its first meeting, yet.
