Local records and offices
These offices handle different records. Bring the property address and the tax notice, deed information, or court document in front of you when you contact them.
Brown County · assessments and property-value inquiries
Use Equalization for county assessment records and property-value questions. An assessment is not a tax balance or a conclusion about what a particular house will sell for.
Brown County Courthouse, Aberdeen. Confirm the current contact details with the county office.
Brown County · property-tax collection and lookup
Contact the Treasurer about property taxes levied by the County, City, schools, and other districts. This is the tax-balance route, separate from Equalization’s assessment work.
25 Market St., Suite 2, Aberdeen, SD 57401 · 605-626-7133. Have the property address or tax notice available.
Brown County · recorded deeds, mortgages, liens, and related land documents
Use the Register of Deeds for recorded ownership documents, mortgages, liens, and related land records. These are recorded-document questions, not assessment or court-judgment questions.
25 Market St., Suite 3, Aberdeen, SD 57401 · 605-626-7140.
South Dakota Fifth Judicial Circuit · court contact and filing route for Brown County matters
Start here for a Brown County court matter or court-judgment record. The Clerk is a court contact and filing route; the office does not decide a parcel-specific venue or who may sign a property sale.
PO Box 1087, 101 SE 1st Avenue, Aberdeen, SD 57402-1087 · 605-626-2451. Confirm the correct court and filing route for the specific case.
City of Aberdeen · city-limits zoning, permits, inspections, code, and property maintenance
For a property inside Aberdeen city limits, contact the City about zoning, building permits, inspections, code questions, and property maintenance. City jurisdiction is distinct from Brown County jurisdiction.
City Hall, 123 S. Lincoln St., Aberdeen · 605-626-7017. Check the property’s actual municipal boundary.
Brown County · matters within County jurisdiction, outside City jurisdiction as applicable
Use County Planning and Zoning for county land-development, zoning, subdivision, floodplain, and nuisance inquiries when the property is within County jurisdiction. City zoning is handled by the City inside Aberdeen city limits.
Brown County Courthouse, 25 Market St., Aberdeen. Confirm jurisdiction and current contact details with the office.
A South Dakota sale-cost rule
South Dakota’s real-estate transfer fee is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law makes the grantor—the person conveying the property—legally responsible unless an exemption applies. A deed or contract for deed generally must also be accompanied by a Certificate of Value for recording.
Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the fee, any exemption, and the certificate needed for your transaction. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the South Dakota real-estate transfer fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
