How To Create and Submit A Bulk Upload File For Landlord Certificates

If you have multiple Landlord Certificates to submit to the Department, we have provided a bulk upload spreadsheet that allows you to collect information for numerous tenants, rental units, or both and upload the data to the Department all at once. The minimum record needed to upload is one, and the maximum is 999.

Step 3: Match the fields

Input the data into the spreadsheet using the column titles as a guide.

If using your own spreadsheet, make sure the spreadsheet you are using has the same order to the fields as the downloadable version on myVTax. Each item should have its own column. Note: Even if a field is not needed for your tenants, you must still have all the fields in this order on your spreadsheet for Form LRC-140 to generate. Fields may be left blank, but the column must be included in the spreadsheet.

Once the spreadsheet is complete, save it to your computer.
