Hey chadbunn -- are these buildings manually drawn or copied over from some third party dataset? If you're copying them from third party data, it may be considered an import. If so, let's collaborate. User osmjwh and I are working on an import proposal, here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Utah/UtahBuildingsImport
We have a monthly meetup as well (I'm typing this from our monthly Mapping Night) -- stop by sometime if you like: https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Utah/

Yes it was part of an import from Layton City data. They are my employer so I have access to the data. I wanted to to make our web maps lighter by contributing the building footprints to OSM instead of using a hosted layer. Monthly meetup sounds cool, maybe someday I'll check it out.

Okay, for it to be permissible in OSM a few things need to happen, as described in the import guidelines. These are to protect the project and ensure best practices. Please see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines as well as the Automated Edits CoC: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct
Perhaps a good way to start is to identify where this data can be obtained (public link) and what its license is?

Ok. We are working on a public data portal where the footprints will be included. I'll keep working on that.I had help from another user in the area u\canyonsrcool who was familiar with the import process. Sorry for the mishap.
