What the report says about zoning in Ziebach County

Home occupation permit required:: Varies
Details:: Ziebach County is a very rural county that includes portions of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. No county-specific home occupation permit requirement for cottage food identified. Operators on tribal land should consult Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe regulations; others should verify with Ziebach County offices in Dupree.
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. Individuals selling certain home-processed canned goods must complete a state-certified online training once every five years. No sales cap. County/municipal ordinances restricting homemade food sales are preempted by state law. Note: Ziebach County includes portions of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation (Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe); operators on tribal land should also consult tribal regulations.
