COUNTY Responsibilities. The COUNTY agrees to the following responsibilities for the <br /> purpose of reliable performance of the site and the intended purpose. <br /> a. Delivery of TAXPAYER Information. The COUNTY will be responsible for providing <br /> to TMA, prior to December 1 of each calendar year preceding the year of service, an <br /> electronic tax roll which contains the account numbers, business names, and location <br /> information that will aid TAXPAYERS in finding and associating their online listing <br /> account with the correct account numbers as proscribed by the COUNTY. This file will be <br /> sent to TMA through a Secure File Transmission Protocol (SFTP) or another format <br /> deemed suitable by both parties. The file should be delivered in a readily readable format <br /> such as XML or CSV with the appropriate identification tags contained in the file or <br /> attached therewith in a separate file delivered at the same time and place. If the COUNTY <br /> so elects, it may provide prior year assessment information for population on the site. <br /> Otherwise, the TAXPAYER will be allowed to fill in all prior year plus current year <br /> adjustments. The file provided may be limited to account numbers, business names, and <br /> situs address only for matching purposes. <br /> b. Timely Response to TAXPAYER Filines. TMA will send to the Assessor or his/her <br /> designee electronic notification of extension requests and business personal property <br /> filings. These electronic notifications will constitute the legal "Filing Date" of the <br /> referenced material, and it is incumbent on the COUNTY to review these notifications and <br /> draw down the full information from the provided resources in a timely manner. The <br /> COUNTY agrees that the date of electronic notification of extension requests and business <br /> personal property filings will be the date of such electronic notification. <br /> 4 <br />
