Yes. Most leasing companies allow an early buyout in South Dakota — you'll pay the remaining payoff amount (not just the residual value) as of the payoff date, which Lease End can calculate for you before you start.

South Dakota sales tax on a lease buyout is collected through the South Dakota Department of Revenue. Rates and rules can change, so we recommend confirming current requirements with the South Dakota Department of Revenue or your leasing company for your specific transaction.
