Certification 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 - (Double check our work) 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.
