I checked in with the Westchester GIS Department and all data is provided as is, and can be used.

Abstract
The dataset is provided by the westchester gis Department.
No direct relationship to the dataset, except that i noticed the county is missing a lot of information.
This data set is all the structures in westchester county. The data includes the tax codes of the buildings, which was used to determine what kind of structure it is, and linked to the tags in OSM where possible
I will be using task manager, and JOSM to import that data.
The data was converted into the standard OSM building tags using Qgis. was able to add the zip-code by using the zip-code boundaries data, and cleaned up the street address data by extracting the house number where possible, making everything title case, and expanding the suffixes where possible.
Any existing buildings will be compared to the official data. I will keep which ever dataset has better detail and merge any additional information this dataset may have, or the existing dataset may have.
In Feet. This seems to be calculated between actual elevation and building elevation.

It would be great to have fewer tags per building. Anything that refers to the whole import – import=yes, source, source:license, and import:page – can go on the changeset tags and/or in the changeset comments but doesn’t need to be on each building. In the same spirit of brevity I’d skip adding addr:country=US to the matched addresses.
height without a unit in the tag value will be assumed to be meters; use eg height=11' to indicate feet.
source:date is a little ambiguous – if this is going to be each building’s PHOTO_DATE value, source:geometry:date would indicate that it’s the date that matches the particular source:geometry:ref tag.
height i converted everything to meters. I will add this to the wiki page to make it clear for any future users. I can also remove the US code, if its redundant.
source:date i kept it as a reference to the original geometry date, but honestly, since we will be reviewing everything manually, and making changes here and there, that data might not be as useful long term.
For the tags, to confirm, i could use something like this as the comment per upload?

. Did not realize capitalization makes it a different user!
