Editorial Policy

Sources

Legal and tax statements are based on primary sources: statutes, city ordinances, and official government or tax-authority pages. Blogs and forums can help us find the primary source, but we don’t cite them as the basis for a legal status.

Checking

A person checks each legal status against the linked source before the page is published. Every page shows the month it was last verified.

Re-Checks

Rules change. Pages older than the review cycle show a “due for a re-check” flag until they are verified again.

Corrections

If you find an error, use the contact form with the page address and the source you are relying on. We correct confirmed errors and update the verified date.

Independence

Affiliate relationships never change a legal status, a calculation or a listing. Sponsored links are labeled the same way everywhere. See Affiliate disclosure.
