Step 2: Review, verify and enter sales into RPS or compatible system
- Enter every sale, including valid, invalid, arms length and non-arms length sales.
- Run the accumulated sales report (RPS035P3) before extracting the RPS035 file.
Step 3: Extract and transmit the RPS035 file
- Extract the RPS035 file.
- To ensure that you will transmit all sales, compare the number of sales on the RPS035P3 report to the total on the RPS035P1 report.
- Open the file to ensure it is complete.
- In addition to the file, the transmittal should include the RPS035P1 report.
- Keep a copy of the RPS035P1 report for your files.
- Email or mail the file to the Office of Real Property Tax Services (ORPTS):
