A Reminder For Those Who May Need Additional Time

The deadline has passed for BEUDO-Covered Properties to submit their Property Configuration Form and Alternative Baseline Selection Form. If you haven't done so already, please complete those forms and submit them as soon as possible.

For owners of multi-use buildings, owners of multiple building parcels, or those requesting a campus compliance structure, who may need additional time: please submit the Request Additional Time Form so staff can support your timeline.
