Thank you for your recent response to the <YYYY> Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). Your government responded there are boundary changes to report, but we have not received these changes. There is still time to submit your changes.

ACTION STEPS

• Prepare and submit boundary updates. The BAS website contains resources and detailed instructions for submitting updates to BAS digitally or using paper maps.

• Register for or replay a webinar. The Census Bureau offers optional BAS training webinars. The webinar schedule, webinar recordings, and registration instructions are on the BAS Webinars webpage.

• Change your response (Optional). If you reviewed your government’s boundaries and determined there are no boundary changes to report, use the Annual Response Form to update your response to “No Changes.”
