Sioux Falls has no city ordinance restricting HOA authority over solar panels. South Dakota allows solar easements (SDCL §43-13-17) but lacks a statewide solar access law preempting HOA restrictions. HOAs in Sioux Falls may legally restrict solar installations.
Neither the Sioux Falls Code of Ordinances (Chapter 160 Zoning) nor any city ordinance explicitly limits an HOA's right to ban or restrict rooftop solar panels. South Dakota Codified Law §43-13-17 permits property owners to voluntarily create solar easements to protect sunlight access, but the state has not enacted a solar access law that would preempt HOA governing documents. HOAs governed by the South Dakota Planned Community Act (SDCL §43-15B) or the Condominium Act (SDCL §43-15A) may enforce solar-panel restrictions contained in their declarations and rules.
No city penalty applies. HOA enforcement is governed by association declarations; violations may result in HOA fines, liens, or forced removal of panels.
