Welcome to Perkins County Assessor Website

The Perkins County Assessor is responsible for discovering, listing, and assessing property at market value to ensure that the property tax burden is equally spread across all taxable property within their jurisdiction.  By law, the assessed value must be its full and true or market value.

The assessor must be certified by the South Dakota Department of Revenue and must be recertified every five years. Requirements for re-certification must annually attend and pass the annual Department of Revenue-sponsored school, attend workshops, and attend the South Dakota Association of Assessing Officers Conferences. Tax Equalization Director seeks value, not revenue. Tax Equalization Directors do not calculate taxes, determine the tax rates, or collect taxes.
