FAQ
 
•
I filed online last year, do I need to register again this year? Yes, registration is only good once a year for security 
reasons. Every year you must register again with a new access code. Once registered, you can log in as many times 
as you want until the filing period is over.
•
What if I am not finished and can’t submit the form right now? You don’t have to finish your filing in one sitting. 
Save your progress and return later to finish. But remember there is a deadline!
•
I have an access code for one business but not for another one I own – You may have an access code for only one 
of your businesses if the Town has only sent out codes to a select group of businesses.
•
Do I need a login for each Town that I e-file in? Yes, each Town is treated as a separate database so you must 
register your email in each respective town where your businesses are located.
•
The online figures for my business are not correct at all – If you did not file a declaration form last year with the 
assessor, the online figures you see are most likely estimated assessments from last year. You can use Dispose for 
each asset year to remove the prior estimated figure.
•
My business closed after October 1st of this calendar year – You are still responsible for filing a form this year with 
the assets you had up to that date. Make sure to fill out the date you closed so that the assessor’s office knows 
not to send you a form next year.
•
I moved to another town. Do I need to file? Yes, fill out the Business Status page with a date and address where to 
the business moved. Depending on the date of the move you may still be responsible for filing assets with this 
town.
