Renewals can be completed online through the MySDCars portal at https://mysdcars.sd.gov , at any DMV Now Kiosk, in person at the applicant’s county treasurer’s office, or by mail through their county office (you must provide $5.00 postage for each set of license plates). There are 21 DMV Now Kiosk located across the state, find a convenient location at https://sddmvnowkiosk.com/ . Individuals who use the online system or a kiosk will have their license plates mailed directly to them.

The Fall River County & Oglala Lakota County Treasurer’s Office wishes to remind those renewing online or at the DMV Now Kiosk their new plates and registration with the decals will be mailed out in the same envelope by the State of South Dakota and could take up to 10 days from the date of purchase. The envelopes used by the State have a smaller pocket in the front where you will find your registration with the decals.

The replacement cost for decals is $10.00 if you do not retrieve them out of the smaller pocket in the envelope before disposing of it.
For questions, please call the Treasurer’s Office at (605) 745-5145 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. MST.

Summer Reassessment – Week 5

August 1, 2022 by

Week of August 1st: Assessors will be finishing up their work along Fall River Rd from the Eagle Rock intersection to the Scenic Road intersection.  Buena Vista Road, Hill Side Road, Buffalo Grass Road, Garden Drive, and the north section of Brook Drive should be finished this week.

Map of reassessment area for the week of August 1st 2022.

Why my property?  Fall River County implemented a 7-year rotation after the county-wide reassessment was completed.  This ensures that every property is physically visited by an assessor at least once every 7 years.  Your neighborhood is one of those scheduled to be visited this year.

What is reassessment?    Reassessment is when the assessor comes to your property to check for any changes, whether improvements or deterioration of buildings.  They will take new exterior photos and walk around the outside of your buildings.  If you are present they may ask you questions about the interior of the building, if you are not present they will leave a doorhanger with contact information so they can converse with you about the property later via phone or email.

What about the COVID-19 pandemic?  The assessor’s work does not require personal contact. They will remain outside and observe proper distancing. Employees will not enter a home unless invited by the owner and can wear face masks while inside upon request.

When exactly will you be at my property?  We will be posting on our website which streets are being assessed each week, you can check there for updates.

Why don’t you make appointments? The short answer: it takes less time for our assessors to start at one end of the street and do each property than it does to jump from property to property based on appointments.  As we are paid by tax dollars, we consider it most important that we perform this job in a time efficient manner.   The door-to-door method has proven to be three times more efficient than making appointments.

Who is coming? Our assessors will have county identification badges and will be driving a county vehicle. If you are suspicious that someone is falsely claiming to be an assessor, please call our office at 605-745-5136 or Fall River County Dispatch at 605-745-5155.
