How do I get Data Warehouse data?

Cities, villages, and townships no longer receive quarterly snapshots of the Data Warehouse data. The data can instead be downloaded in a tab-delimited format on a weekly basis.  Detailed instructions are available (Adobe Acrobat, file size 23k).

To obtain a username and password to perform the download, please contact the IT Service Center at servicecenter@oakgov.com or (248) 858-8812.

 

 You will need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader if it is not already installed on your system.
