*RPSv4 users: We have removed the requirement for the 'Part2 Detail Changes' report to save local printing and mailing costs. This data is accessed by ORPTS from the V4 database submitted.

Non-RPS: File names should identify municipality, roll year and content. The AR "Summary of Total Assessed Value" (Part 1) should be printed and signed. If an AR "Detailed List of Changes" (Part 2) file is not included with the roll file provided, a printed version of this report must accompany your "Summary of Total AV" (Part 1) report. A file layout of the assessment roll file and assessor's report file (if applicable) must accompany your submission.

Also, when appropriate, include Assessor's Report Part 6 for Court Ordered Changes and Part 7 for Small Claims Adjustments or Correction of Errors.
