The South Dakota Board of Technical Professions is a regulatory board charged with providing maximum protection of life, health, safety and property, promoting the public welfare to the people of South Dakota by licensing and regulating architects, professional engineers, land surveyors, landscape architects and petroleum release assessors and remediators. A person must be licensed before being permitted to offer these professional services to the public.
Primary responsibilities of the Board of Technical Professions include reviewing applications; administrating state and national examinations; licensing qualified professionals; communicating with licensees and the public regarding the laws, rules and professional standards of practice of these professions; investigating complaints and disciplinary actions with hearings; restricting or revoking licenses when generally accepted standards of practice or conduct are not met; and continuing professional development to assure those who practice the professions regulated by the Board attain and maintain competence in these professions.
The Board is a self supporting board deriving its revenues from fee charges from licensees. The Board meetings are open to the public, and meeting agendas and minutes are available on this website when prepared.
Please note: Our office does not keep records of your professional development hours (PDH) carryovers. It is the responsibility of licensees to keep records of continuing education including a PDH log and certificates.
