S.D. Codified Laws § 35-2-7

Any license granted under this title may be transferred to a new location or to another person. If the transfer is to another person, the licensee shall show in writing, under oath, that the licensee has made a bulk sale of the business operated under the license. The bulk sale may be conditioned upon the granting of a transfer of the license. The transferee shall make an application exactly as an original applicant, and the application shall be acted upon in the same manner as an original application. No transfer of any license to another person may be granted until all taxes incurred by the transferor as a result of the operation of the licensed premises, including municipal and state sales and use taxes, state reemployment assistance or unemployment insurance tax, or any other state tax, are paid or are not delinquent. No transfer of any license to another person may be granted until all property taxes which are the liability of the licensee levied on the licensed premises are paid or are not delinquent. No transfer of any license may be granted from an Indian tribe operating in Indian country controlled by the Indian tribe or from an enrolled tribal member operating in Indian country controlled by the enrolled tribal member's tribe until all use tax incurred as a result of the operation of the licensed premises by nonmembers, and any other state tax, has been remitted or is not delinquent. If the transfer is to a new location, the licensee shall make application showing all the relevant facts for the new location. The application shall be acted upon in the same manner as an original application. If a license is transferred, a fee of one hundred fifty dollars is required to continue the unexpired portion of the license.
