Fee land owners in Oglala Lakota County should be receiving their tax notices in the mail this week (Jan 14th).   Taxes are due in two payments.  The first half is due by April 30th, the second half by October 31st.

If you do not receive your tax notice please contact the Treasurer’s Office at 605-745-5145.

The Director of Equalization’s Office (assessors) has moved to their new location at 1029 N River St. This new location is located directly across the street from the courthouse in the former SD Extension and Weed & Pest Office building.  There will be an open house for the public on Friday, January 19th from 2 -5 pm.

As you deck the halls this holiday season, be fire smart. A small fire that spreads to a Christmas tree can grow large very quickly.

• Choose trees with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched
• Before playing the tree in the stand cut 2″ from the base of the trunk
• Make sure the tree is at least three feed away from any heat source (fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents, or lights)
• Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit
• Be sure to add water daily to the tree stand
