How to submit bulk filings
The bulk filing feature lets you submit multiple filings for multiple businesses at once for a single form using Localgov’s spreadsheet template.
Bulk filing in Localgov is available only for select forms. If a form supports it, you’ll see the option to submit for either a single business or multiple businesses when opening the form. This feature is especially helpful for business owners with multiple locations or for accountants managing filings for several clients.

- From the dropdown, select the businesses you want to include and click Add.
