  4. Confidentiality In this information age, people, from both inside and outside of our own organizations want data, data, data. They want it ALL and they want it NOW.

  5. Confidentiality By the way, is that available electronically? Or, Why don’t you put that on your website?

  6. Confidentiality How can we respond to those questions and stay within the rules?

  7. Confidentiality Only authorized city/county employees may have access to confidential data. Each employee authorized must agree to follow the confidentiality guidelines.

  8. Confidentiality Anyone with access to taxpayer data cannot disclose information to the public in any manner that does not comply with confidentiality standards

  9. Confidentiality RULE OF TEN Statistical information derived from confidential information may be disclosed if it does not reveal confidential facts attributable to any one taxpayer. On a statewide basis, no statistical information may be released that contains information from fewer than three taxpayers in a grouping. For an areas that is less than state level (county or city), data from at least ten taxpayers must be in a grouping.
