NOTE: Please respond to the BAS with a “NO” response if you have no boundary changes, annexations, or contact updates to report for your government. By responding “NO”, we are able to confirm that your government has received and reviewed the BAS. If you do not respond, we will contact your government to confirm your boundary change status.
