The good news is that you can request that your property be reassesed! You may have seen/heard commercials for companies that will help you do this for a fee. Those people are scam artists because all you have to do (at least in SD) is fill out a form and mail it in to the county. There's no fee for this to be done!

This is how it works where I live too. There is even a blip about it on the property tax invoice you receive. I can't believe people are scamming on this - but then again, I can.
