Sioux Falls has not made source of income, including Section 8 vouchers, a protected class under city law. Landlords may legally refuse to accept vouchers or other lawful payment sources, except where federal law applies to a specific property.
South Dakota state law and Sioux Falls city ordinances protect against discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status, mirroring the federal Fair Housing Act. Source of income is not a protected class. Landlords may decline applicants who plan to pay with Housing Choice Vouchers, VA HUD-VASH vouchers, or child support, unless the property itself is in a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, project-based Section 8, or HOME-funded program with its own rules. Sioux Falls Housing and Redevelopment Commission can advise voucher holders on landlord searches.
Refusing a voucher is generally lawful in Sioux Falls. Refusal that masks racial or familial discrimination is still a Fair Housing violation enforceable by HUD or the SD Human Rights Commission.
