1. South Dakota Department of Revenue - Sales Tax License

   Any business with a physical presence in South Dakota must be licensed for sales tax collection, and South Dakota taxes services as well as tangible personal property and products transferred electronically. The state sales and use tax rate is 4.2 percent (reduced from 4.5 percent), and municipal sales and use tax of generally 1 to 2 percent applies where the purchaser receives the product or service. Remote sellers and marketplace providers with more than $100,000 in gross sales into South Dakota in the previous or current calendar year must also license and remit. Register using the Department of Revenue's online Tax License Application.

1. No Aberdeen General Business License Required

   Aberdeen does not issue a general business license. The City Finance Office (Auditor Division, 605-626-7023) issues licenses only for a specific enumerated list of activities: ambulance driver, ambulance service, garbage hauler, community event, day care, junk dealer, lottery notice, mobile home park, pawn broker, street use, shooting gallery, special event alcohol, taxi/motorbus company, taxi/motorbus driver, transient merchant/solicitor, and alcohol. Trades such as plumbing, HVAC, and pest control are not on that list and need no city business license. Their state-level licensing applies instead: plumbing through the SD Plumbing Commission, pesticide application through SD DANR, and there is no statewide HVAC or mechanical contractor license. A South Dakota sales tax license from the Department of Revenue is still required.

2. Mobile Dog Grooming in Aberdeen - No Animal Services or Vehicle Inspection Permit

   There is no Brown County Animal Services department, and neither Brown County nor the City of Aberdeen operates a local health department that inspects grooming vehicles. Aberdeen's City Finance Office licenses only a fixed list of activities (ambulance, garbage hauler, community event, day care, junk dealer, lottery, mobile home park, pawn broker, street use, shooting gallery, special event alcohol, taxi/motorbus, transient merchant/solicitor, alcohol) and mobile grooming is not on it. Mobile grooming that does not board or day-care animals at a fixed site is not a kennel operation under Aberdeen City Code Sec. 8-45, so no zoning special exception applies. If the vehicle and supplies are kept at a residence, the by-right home occupation criteria of City Code Sec. 60-194 govern, with no permit or fee. A South Dakota sales tax license from the Department of Revenue is still required.
