Where to start: closing in South Dakota

- Title companies conduct closings.
- South Dakota charges a real estate transfer fee at recording, paid by the seller.
- A seller property condition disclosure statement is required by statute.
- A spouse who is not on the deed of a homestead property is asked to sign it.
