The SEAL SD GRT Plan: Not Born in a Vacuum

You’ve heard it before—“These are just recycled talking points.” But real solutions aren’t invented out of thin air. They’re built on proven ideas, refined through experience, and tailored to meet the needs of the people they serve.

The SEAL SD Core GRT Plan is exactly that.

Across the nation, citizens and lawmakers have recognized a simple truth: Property taxes threaten true homeownership and financial freedom. From North Dakota to Pennsylvania, Florida to Michigan, Americans are pushing back against a system that forces them to “rent” their homes from the government.

But while many have tried—and failed—to eliminate property taxes, SEAL SD has crafted a plan that learns from their missteps. We didn’t copy; we innovated. We took the best concepts, avoided the pitfalls, and built a solution specifically for South Dakota’s economy, values, and future.

A National Movement Toward Tax Freedom

States across America have explored eliminating property taxes:

• North Dakota’s citizen-led ballot measures North Dakota Initiative
• Michigan’s “Ax MI Tax” campaign Ax MI Tax
• Pennsylvania’s legislative push to end school property taxes PA House Bill
• Florida’s discussions under Governor DeSantis Florida Tax Reform
• Nebraska’s EPIC Option Nebraska EPIC

These efforts share common goals—protect homeowners, simplify taxation, and ensure stable funding without oppressive property taxes.

Common Sense, Not “Talking Points”

Yes, you’ll hear familiar themes:

• “Stop renting your home from the government.”
• “Fund services fairly—don’t punish property owners.”
• “No service cuts, just smarter taxation.”

These aren’t clichés—they’re truths recognized nationwide. SEAL SD didn’t invent these concerns—we answered them with a plan that works.

Where others relied on sales tax hikes or unstable funding schemes, we designed a 5% Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) that:

• Eliminates $1.6 billion in property taxes.
• Fully funds schools and local governments.
• Protects small businesses and veterans.
• Keeps South Dakota competitive and free.

School Funding Secured

Critics claim property tax elimination harms schools. Not here.

SEAL SD’s plan constitutionally earmarks GRT revenue:

• 60% for K-12 education.
• 30% for counties, cities, and first responders.

We’ve studied the concerns raised in other states and built safeguards they lacked:

• EdChoice Policy Tracker
• South Dakota’s innovative property tax credit bill for education SD Legislature

Addressing Misinformation

When someone says, “It’s just the same talking points,” show them this:

• Florida’s property tax reform debates Florida Senate
• Pennsylvania’s fight for homeowner freedom PA Taxpayer Advocates
• North Dakota’s lessons from past initiatives ND Ballot History

SEAL SD stands apart because we learned from these efforts. We’ve built a plan grounded in:

• Economic research Tax Foundation
• Real-world GRT application New Mexico GRT
• Constitutional protections unique to South Dakota.
