-
Reminders from 2019
- Counties may submit all municipalities at one time using two separate files – one for personal property and one for real property
- This works best if you 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

- Counties can continue to submit one municipality at a time
- Send DOR your public (redacted) data to maintain consistency with providing any data
