South Dakota counties zone agricultural land under SDCL 11-2, balancing local control with state Right to Farm protections that limit zoning's ability to restrict farms.
SDCL 11-2 grants counties authority to adopt comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances, including agricultural districts, setbacks for confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), and conditional use permits. Zoning must align with state Right to Farm protections in SDCL 21-10-25.2 and the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources rules for livestock operations. Townships have parallel zoning authority under SDCL 11-2 and must coordinate with county comprehensive plans.
Zoning violations can result in stop-work orders, fines, and injunctions; CAFO violations also trigger state environmental enforcement and permit revocation.
