Sell your house in Sturgis, SD, as-is, for cash
Updated October 11, 2026.
The short answer
We buy houses as-is in Sturgis. You get a written cash offer in 24 to 48 hours, we pay all the closing costs, and most sales close in about 30 days. Sturgis is in Meade County, and the Meade County Treasurer is right in town at 1300 Sherman Street. Meade County is in the Fourth Judicial Circuit, not Rapid City's Seventh (SDCL 16-5-1.2), so probate and foreclosure for a Sturgis house run through a different courthouse than Rapid City's.

Sturgis is a town of owners. About two of every three homes are lived in by the people who own them, more than in Rapid City, Spearfish or Box Elder. If yours is one of them and it needs more work than you want to take on, that’s the kind of house we buy.
Selling around the Rally
2026 was the 86th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. For some owners, Rally week is part of the math on the house: renting it out, or renting the yard to campers.
In May 2026 the city council passed a new residential camping ordinance. It defines a “Rally Window” as the official Rally dates plus seven days before and three days after, and adds a permit for some non-Rally camping. If Rally income was part of why you kept a house, read the current ordinance at City Hall before you count on it for next year.
Selling doesn’t have to dodge the Rally. You pick the closing date.
Behind on property taxes in Meade County
Second-half property taxes become delinquent November 1 (SDCL 10-21-23). In Meade County:
- The online portal won’t take a delinquent payment. You have to call the Treasurer’s Office, or walk in, since it’s on Sherman Street in Sturgis.
- The county’s December 2025 notice said it was “not selling certificates at this time.”
- A tax deed can’t be started until three years after the tax certificate sale (SDCL 10-25-1).
So you have time, but not forever. The full timeline is here. If you sell, the back taxes get paid off at closing out of the sale.
Probate for a Sturgis house
Probate is opened in the county where the person lived at death (SDCL 29A-3-201). If Mom lived in Sturgis, the estate goes through Meade County, even if every heir lives in Rapid City or out of state. How probate works in South Dakota, and what to do with an inherited house.
