South Dakota Code § 10-22-15

Seizure of unencumbered before encumbered property--Priority of tax lien
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
In making the seizure of property, the sheriff shall first seize property that is not encumbered by any lien of record. The sheriff may seize encumbered property if, after due diligence, the sheriff is unable to collect the taxes due from unencumbered property. Any unpaid mobile home taxes or taxes on a building on a leased site shall be a first lien on the mobile home or building on a leased site. This tax lien has a priority over any other lien including a lien that was attached before the tax lien. Nothing provided in this section prevents the sheriff from first seizing an encumbered mobile home or building on a leased site for which the delinquent taxes are based.
