Welcome to OPEN SD

     The Internet is increasingly becoming the main source of information and communication for many people. Particularly in South Dakota, where our citizens often have great distances to travel, the Internet helps bring the world to our doors.

     Having one place on the Internet to go for government records and information will help our citizens be more informed, involved, and efficient. OPEN SD is that place.

     By clicking on the categories on the left, you can review state government spending, current salaries of individual state employees, financial documents, vendor information, and listings of job classifications. You can also follow easy links to local government information websites.

     OPEN SD is a useful and easy way for you to get the information you need and want about your government. If you have ideas on how we can improve OPEN SD, please provide us with Feedback.

     If you have a question about the SD Public Records Request process, please visit the Office of Hearing Examiners page on the subject.
