Thank you for your recent response to the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). Your government
indicated there are boundary changes to report, but we have not received these changes. You still have
time to submit updates for BAS.
Action Step:
•

Prepare and submit boundary updates. On the BAS website, you will find resources and
detailed instructions for submitting updates to BAS digitally or using paper maps.
Please respond to the BAS with a “No Changes” response if, after reviewing your government’s
boundaries, you determine there are no boundary changes to report. If you do not respond, we
will contact your government to confirm your boundary change status.
