What the report says about zoning in Yankton County

Home occupation permit required:: Varies
Details:: Yankton County includes the City of Yankton, which may have its own home occupation zoning provisions. No county-specific home occupation permit requirement for cottage food identified. Operators in the city of Yankton should check City of Yankton zoning ordinances; operators in unincorporated areas should check with Yankton County offices.
Home kitchen:: South Dakota SDCL §34-18-35 exempts homemade foods prepared at a residence from licensure. The 2022 amendment (SL 2022, ch 106) expanded beyond prior baked-goods-only scope.
