State Prescribed vs. Non-State Prescribed Forms

State prescribed forms

• ​Created and maintained by DOR and are required by state law
• Under sec. 70.09(3), Wis. Stats., vendors, municipalities, or assessors not using the state-prescribed forms must submit their proposed form to bapdor@wisconsin.gov for approval.
• The following scenarios require DOR review and approval prior to distribution:
• A law change requires an update to a state prescribed form. Any alternate versions of the state prescribed version must be submitted to DOR for the effective year of the law change prior to distribution.
• The vendor, municipality, or assessor changes an alternate version of a state prescribed form previously approved by DOR. This includes any text, formatting, or layout changes beyond updating only the year on the form.
• The state prescribed version of the form is updated by DOR with annual updates, (ex: Statement of Personal Property (PA-003) and Fixed Asset Schedule (PE-106)). Any alternate versions must be submitted to DOR annually for review and approval.

Non-state prescribed forms

• Forms provided by DOR and may be used by local governments
• These forms do not require DOR review and approval for alternate versions
