Use the county Director of Equalization for assessed value, the Treasurer for property-tax accounts, the Register of Deeds for recorded land documents, and the Clerk of Court for court-file questions. Those are different records and offices.
The City Limits feature lists both Minnehaha and Lincoln Counties. Confirm the property’s actual county from its address or parcel record before calling; a Sioux Falls city name alone does not choose the county office. We buy houses as-is in Sioux Falls and in both counties. Call 888-274-5006 or use the property form below.

City of Sioux Falls · building-permit record search
Search the City’s public permit database for building-permit records by property. A search result does not establish that an inspection passed, that a permit is current, or that a sale requires a certificate.
Use the property address when searching. Confirm any notice, permit, or inspection question with the City for that address.
South Dakota facts to check
These statewide rules help frame a question about an estate, foreclosure, tenant, transfer fee, or City notice. Match each one to the actual property, document, and case.
Usually, yes. Once appointed, a personal representative may sell estate property at public or private sale unless the will or a formal court order restricts that power. Check the appointment, the actual will, and any order before deciding who can sign.
If the property’s fair-market value is not readily ascertainable, the representative must give at least 14 days’ written notice before closing to each person who filed a demand for notice. The notice identifies the property, buyer, price, payment terms, and any security for deferred payment. Start with the estate record and confirm the title and authority for this property.
South Dakota allows foreclosure by court action and, when a mortgage includes a power of sale, foreclosure by advertisement. An advertisement sale requires publication at least weekly for four successive weeks and written notice to the borrower and affected lienholders at least 21 days before sale. The borrower may require foreclosure by court action after advertisement begins.
The ordinary redemption period is one year after sale, but a mortgage with the statutory 180-day clause can shorten it, including to 60 days if the property is abandoned. Check the mortgage, sale notice, certificate, and court docket for this property, and confirm the dates with the county Sheriff or a South Dakota attorney.
Yes, a house can be sold with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself end a stated lease; the lease and South Dakota’s tenancy rules govern possession and notice. If the rental term is not specified, a statutory renewal or termination-notice rule may apply.
For a residential deposit, the lessor must return it or give written reasons for withholding within 21 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant provides a mailing address or delivery instructions. Gather the lease, deposit balance, and rent information so the closing documents can address them; the sale itself is not the deposit-return deadline.
South Dakota imposes a real-estate transfer fee of 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction thereof; the grantor is 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 closing professional which rule and any exemption apply to the transfer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the South Dakota real-estate transfer fee. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
A pending notice or order is not, by itself, proof that a deed cannot be sold, but a sale does not establish that the order has been cleared. South Dakota law authorizes municipalities to declare nuisances and prevent, abate, or remove them.
Use the issuing City’s current code and the actual order to check repair deadlines, permits, occupancy limits, assessments, and any lien. Ask the City and the closing professional about the property-specific status. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Usually, yes. An appointed personal representative may sell estate property unless the will or a formal court order restricts that power. Check the appointment, will, any order, and the estate record; the property’s county alone does not decide where the estate case belongs.

No. A sale does not by itself end a stated lease; the lease and South Dakota tenancy rules govern possession and notice. Gather the lease, deposit balance, and rent information before planning the sale.
