  2. File transfer

    • Do not include manufacturing values in your file
    • You must include the assessor name and accurate phone number
    • Receipt number is confirmation your file was sent to DOR. If we are unable to process it, we will contact you.

Why is accurate and timely filing important?

  • DOR uses SOA values to certify school district, technical college and special district Equalized Values; this process begins September 1
  • If we do not receive a completed SOA by September 1, we will estimate the assessment data based on the prior year SOA values
