Our operating rule
County pages must use correct state terminology, original writing, direct answers, clear office routing, visible source notes and a real verification date. Thin, duplicated, placeholder or misleading pages are not published. Competitor content is used for coverage research and fallback data, not copied text.
Editorial standards
Pages must answer a real property task, use the correct state terminology, distinguish assessment from collection and recording, and provide a direct next action. Thin county-name substitutions, copied competitor paragraphs and invented verification claims are not accepted.
AI-assisted drafting
Automation may help organize headings, tables or first drafts, but factual fields require source review. Content is not described as manually verified unless the relevant official source was actually checked.
Commercial independence
Advertising does not determine page conclusions, office routing or source selection. Advertisements must not look like official buttons, tax-payment links or navigation.
