I read everything. I reply to most things within a few days, though it can take longer during busy weeks.
What I'd especially like to hear about
Corrections. County portals get rebuilt, millage and exemption figures move, a state changes its vehicle tax formula, a dataset gets a new front end and the field you were told to copy is gone. If a rate, threshold, form, or click-path in one of these guides no longer matches what you found, tell me — ideally with the county or state and what the screen actually showed. Readers doing the lookup this week find these changes long before I re-check an article. Corrections get applied and the article's "updated" date is bumped.
Gaps. If you tried to verify something about a town and every result was a ranked list, a relocation lead form, or a paywall over a number an agency publishes for free, that is exactly the kind of thing worth writing up. Tell me the wording you searched, too — it usually tells me what the page should be called. The same goes for a county whose records are genuinely hard to get at: those are worth documenting precisely because they are awkward.
Questions about where a record lives. I can't give financial, tax, legal, insurance, or real estate advice, and I won't pretend otherwise — for anything binding you need the county assessor or treasurer, your state's revenue or insurance department, a licensed insurance agent, or a qualified professional. But if you're stuck on a procedural step — which office holds a parcel record, which of two agencies publishes a rate, how to read a field on a dataset — ask, and if I can point you to the source that answers it, I will.
What I can't help with
- Telling you which town to choose, or whether a place is a good decision, a good investment, or safe for your household
- Looking up, valuing, or appraising a specific property, estimating your tax bill, or reviewing a purchase, lease, or insurance quote you have been offered
- Financial, tax, legal, insurance, mortgage, or real estate advice of any kind, or contacting an agency, agent, carrier, or landlord on your behalf
- Referrals to agents, brokers, lenders, insurers, relocation services, or paid data subscriptions
- Requests to publish sponsored posts, paid guest articles, or link insertions
Please don't send financial documents, tax returns, insurance quotes with your details on them, or anything containing your Social Security number or account numbers. I don't need them to fix a page, and I'd rather not hold them. If you're describing a situation, describe it in general terms.
