In 2007, the Committee on National Statistics released a report that evaluated the state and local government surveys conducted by the Census Bureau. The panel recommended a complete redesign of the Quarterly Tax Survey. This paper discusses the progress made so far in light of the panel’s recommendations. The survey has undergone a sample redesign for both the property tax and the local non-property tax components. Dual processing of the new and old property tax samples was started in January 2009, while the local non-property tax collection forms have been redesigned and have undergone cognitive testing. Additionally, all component s of the survey have new editing procedures and techniques for dealing with unit and item nonresponse.
