The U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) received your response to the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) indicating that your government has boundary changes to report.


Action Steps

  • (1) Report boundary changes to the Census Bureau - On the BAS website you will find detailed information on how to respond to the BAS digitally, or using paper maps. There you will find respondent guidelines, the Geographic Update Partnership Software (GUPS), partnership shapefiles, paper maps, previous annexation data, and other important documentation.

  • (2) Obtain a Secure Web Incoming Module (SWIM) registration token - All governments responding digitally must use SWIM. This token will be provided in a separate email. Paper participants or those with an existing SWIM account will not receive a registration token.

Note: Please respond to the BAS with a “NO” response if, after reviewing your government’s boundaries, you determine that there is no boundary changes to report. By responding “NO”, we are able to confirm that your government has received and reviewed the BAS. If you do not respond with boundary changes or a “NO” response, we will contact your government to confirm your boundary change status.
