Compare All Counties

See every South Dakota county side by side: how many local governments have adopted or proposed a data center ordinance, how many Core Protections the typical ordinance covers, and the highest rated ordinance in each county. Before drafting, find the strongest rules adopted near you and open one in the Ordinance Builder as a starting point.

Select a column heading to sort. Select a county name to open its county page. The Adopted column counts the local governments’ own ordinances; where a county ordinance supplies the rules, the number of local governments under County Rules Apply appears below it, and Typical Coverage and Highest Rated Ordinance use only municipal ordinances.
