Now that we have completed a Certification cycle – how did we do? All 105 counties submitted a Certification through PVD, then DASC Clerks now familiar with DASC web interface No more paper maps mailed to PVD Saving staff time, postage and paper

4. …..Kansas Department of Revenue – Property Valuation Division – Kansas GIS Policy Board - DASC ….. After submitting Certification to PVD next step is to complete Certification of tax unit boundaries on DASC website Access the following web link: http://www.kansasgis.org/services/pvd/index.cfm Complete the fields of contact information Review your tax unit boundaries using the interactive map Choose if your county has changes or no changes Submit! Tax Unit Certification Review

5. …..Kansas Department of Revenue – Property Valuation Division – Kansas GIS Policy Board - DASC ….. If your county has no changes … You are done! If your county has changes you have 3 choices … 1.Please have DASC send us a paper map for editing 2.We have our own paper maps and will mail a map with our edits to DASC. 3.We have changes and will submit our tax units through a GIS file. Tax Unit Certification Review

13. Certification All tax unit changes must be Certified! Each county will have at least one certification annually - changes or no changes; if your county has multiple changes throughout the year, then each submission must be a new Certification. Verification Must be done ONLY if your tax unit boundary certification included changes, the verification is done after we have edited the GIS file to ensure the boundaries are correct. Your opportunity to double check our work! Each new Certification will result in another verification. No changes = no verification. Certify vs. Verify

Or do you need KDOR/DASC to print county size plot for you and mail it to you? Next Steps …
