DOAA Immigration Report

Since 2011, counties have been required to submit an annual immigration report to the Department of Audits and Accounts (DOAA). This report has six sections and covers the reporting period of Dec. 1, 2024 through Nov. 30, 2025. It is due on Dec. 31, 2025.   All reports must be submitted through the DOAA portal. Changes were made to reporting requirements in 2024. These changes include a separate report that must be submitted by the sheriff. There are also certain questions that must be answered by other law enforcement (county police, marshal’s office, etc.).

On Dec. 2, 2025, DOAA held a webinar that provided in depth information on how to use the reporting system, the special requirements for law enforcement, and provided information on the type of information that must be reported. These materials are listed below. It is strongly recommended that your county review these materials before submitting your report to ensure proper compliance.

Failure to submit the report by Dec. 31 may jeopardize your county’s ability to receive state funding for grants and loans. Further, DOAA is required to prepare a report on all entities that did not submit and those entities that are not in compliance with state immigration law. This noncompliance report will be distributed to members of the General Assembly.
