Description
## Summary
Add South Dakota's statewide senior property tax relief programs, especially the Tax Refund for Senior Citizens and Citizens with Disabilities.
## Why add this
- South Dakota has multiple statewide senior-focused property tax relief programs.
- They appear missing from `policyengine-us`.
## Modeling notes
- First-pass focus, if any: the statewide tax refund.
- Lower-priority items: the Assessment Freeze for the Elderly & Disabled and the Property Tax Homestead Exemption / deferral.
- The tax refund is trickier than a pure property tax rebate because the benefit may be based on either sales tax or property tax.
## Likely inputs
- `age`
- disability status if disability path included
- household income
- homeownership / occupancy status
- `real_estate_taxes`
- consumption / sales tax information if full refund mechanics are modeled
