Schema Information

Reminders:
- Counties may submit all municipalities at one time using two separate files – one for personal property and one for real property
- Counties can continue to submit one municipality at a time
- Send DOR your public (redacted) data to maintain consistency with providing any data

Name each file with its corresponding DOR Co-muni code – to improve the file names and quickly identify which file belongs to a specific municipality
Upload one municipality at a time – to make the file easier to locate when working together to troubleshoot issues
Upload one county at a time - send a zip file with all municipality files included
- Send a single zipped folder for each property type
- Make sure the zipped folder only contains xml files
- Do not include internal folders in your zip file

Send the file with file transfer protocol (FTP).

Select your County (Cnty asmt Rolls) from the dropdown list

Select your file with the browse option
Transfer the file
Send an email to DORDeveloperRelations@wisconsin.gov with "XML County Rolls" in the subject line

Send the file with file transfer protocol (FTP)

Steps:

DOR sends acknowledgments by email
The acknowledge email, stating we accepted or rejected the file, contains the file name as it is stored in our system
When you contact DOR staff, include this file name (from our email response) to help expedite troubleshooting, especially when the file does not use the Co-muni code or if the number or file contains an error

Test files are processed individually
To help us respond to questions, DOR's acknowledgement email contains the file name as it is stored in our system

If you have any questions, contact us at OTAS@wisconsin.gov or (608) 266-7750.
