Name each XML with its corresponding DOR Co-muni code – to improve the XML names and quickly identify which file belongs to a specific municipality
Submit one real estate XML and one personal property XML for each municipality – to make the XML easier to locate when working together to troubleshoot issues
Upload the county – send a zip file with all municipality XML included
- Send a single zipped file for each real estate XML and each personal property XML

- Do not include internal folders in your zip file
