🛡️ Safeguards to Protect Homes: No Tricks, No Traps
🏛️ Ensuring Your Home Stays Safe with SEAL SD
At SealSD.com, we’re committed to protecting your home from the threat of property taxes with the Core GRT Plan—part of the Maximum Liberty Plan (Plan 2). This plan replaces all state taxes with a single 5% Gross Receipts Tax (GRT), eliminating the $1.6 billion property tax burden and ensuring no South Dakotan ever loses their home to government taxes. Our safeguards—no tricks, no traps—guarantee transparency, accountability, and voter control, so your home remains yours, free and clear. Discover how we’re securing your future with these locked-in protections.
🚫 Property Taxes Gone Forever – Voter Control Ensures It Stays That Way
The Core GRT Plan eliminates property taxes permanently, saving South Dakotans $1.6 billion annually—$3,000–$5,000 per household. Here’s how we ensure they never come back:
- Permanent Elimination: The 5% GRT replaces property taxes, funding schools, local governments, and state services with $3.6 billion, so there’s no need for property taxes ever again.
- Two-Thirds Voter Approval: Any attempt to reinstate property taxes requires a two-thirds vote of South Dakotans—approximately 606,000 out of 909,000 residents—ensuring your voice decides, not the government’s.
Analogy for Clarity: We’ve kicked out the property tax picnic fee for good, and it can’t sneak back unless two-thirds of picnic friends agree—your picnic spot stays safe, no tricks, no traps!
📊 Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB): Every Dollar Justified
We use Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) to ensure every dollar of the $3.6 billion GRT is spent wisely, protecting your home from wasteful government spending:
- Start from Zero: Each year, every expense must be justified from scratch—no automatic carryovers, ensuring efficiency.
- Prioritize Essentials: Schools ($960 million), local governments ($1.5 billion), and state services ($1.14 billion) are funded first, with no room for waste.
- Transparency in Action: ZBB ensures funds are allocated where they’re needed most, keeping government lean and accountable.
Analogy for Clarity: ZBB is like planning a picnic from scratch each time—we make sure every picnic snack is needed, so there’s no waste, and the picnic stays great for everyone!
🕵️ SD-DOGE: Our Government Watchdog
The South Dakota Department of Government Efficiency (SD-DOGE) acts as your watchdog, ensuring transparency and accountability in how the GRT is managed:
- Public Audits: Annual audits of the $3.6 billion GRT revenue, with reports accessible to all South Dakotans, ensuring every dollar is accounted for.
- Citizen Oversight: A committee of South Dakotans oversees spending, ensuring funds go to schools, local services, and state needs—not wasteful projects.
- Waste Elimination: SD-DOGE identifies and cuts unnecessary spending, keeping government small and focused on what matters.

📜 Legal Safeguards: Your Rights Protected
The Core GRT Plan is built on a solid legal foundation, ensuring your home is protected under both state and federal law:
- South Dakota Constitution (Article XI, Section 2): Allows the state to levy uniform taxes for public purposes—the 5% GRT funds schools and services fairly.
- South Dakota Constitution (Article III, Section 1): The two-thirds voter approval requirement ensures democratic control over any future tax changes.
- U.S. Constitution (14th Amendment): The GRT’s uniform rate ensures equal protection, with exemptions (e.g., military, $4.78 million) supporting public policy goals without discrimination.
Analogy for Clarity: Our picnic rules follow South Dakota’s picnic book—everyone pays the same $5 fee for the cake, and we need two-thirds of picnic friends to change the rules, keeping everything fair and square!
