This article is for vendors who maintain software that allows users to export MS-1 data for import into the Web Portal.
If you are a regular user looking for help with the MS-1 process, please visit this link.


Overview

The MS-1 and MS-1V forms (Summary Inventory of Valuation for Municipalities and Village Districts, respectively) which were formerly distributed as a single dynamic PDF have now been phased out. The MS-1 and MS-1V will now be completed through the NHDRA's Assessment Web Portal. The portal allows users to import an XML file containing the MS-1 data. This article provides documentation necessary for vendors and developers to produce that XML file. We encourage vendors to submit sample XML files to Axiomatic for review and testing.


The latest schema and utility list can be found at the bottom of this article.

Utility Company Naming Convention

The XML import process attempts to match the utility companies in the uploaded XML file against the list of active utility companies maintained by the NHDRA based on the utility company names. While the user is able to review and adjust the imported utility company data prior to finalizing the MS-1, we recommend that reasonable attempts be made to use the NHDRA's list of utility companies. This list is reviewed and updated by the DRA and each year.
