No state contractor trade license. A contractor's excise tax license is required: "Any person entering into a contract for construction services (as defined in Division C of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual of 1987) or engaging in services that include the construction, building, installation, or repair of a fixture to real property must have a South Dakota contractor's tax license." Separate state licensing exists only for the regulated trades (electrical, plumbing).

No dollar threshold for the excise tax license. The contractor's excise tax is imposed at 2% of gross receipts on construction projects.

Local option. SDCL 11-10-5: if a local governing body adopts an ordinance prescribing construction standards for any building other than a residential structure, that ordinance must comply with the 2024 edition of the International Building Code, and the governing body may amend, modify or delete portions of it before enactment. SDCL 11-10-12 allows municipalities to enact requirements for residential structures by adopting the 2024 edition of the International Residential Code. Adoption is discretionary, so whether a garage door permit is needed depends on the city or county.
