Editorial Policy
Our standards for accuracy, sourcing, review, and independence — so you can trust what you read here.
Who Writes This Content
Editorial content is written and reviewed by James K. Quigg, author of a tax deed due diligence guide and operator of this site. Learn more about the author. Some drafting may be supported by AI tools, but every substantive statement of law or procedure is reviewed by a human against primary sources before it is published.
Our Sourcing Standard
- Statements of law cite primary sources — statutes, regulations, court rules, and official agency guidance (IRS, county recorders, tax assessors/collectors, EPA, FEMA, PACER, etc.).
- We prefer official government and court sources over secondary commentary, and we link to them so readers can verify.
- We use state- and county-specific language rather than presenting one state’s rule as a nationwide rule.
- Where a rule is unsettled or varies, we say so and point to how to confirm it locally.
See our full Source & Research Methodology for details.
Review & Updating
- Each guide shows a “last reviewed” date and its jurisdiction scope.
- We review legal content periodically and when we become aware of a statutory change.
- When we make a material correction, we note it and, where relevant, log it on our Corrections page.
Accuracy & Limitations
We work hard to be accurate, but law changes and public records are imperfect. Our content is educational and is not legal advice — see the Legal Disclaimer. If you spot something that looks wrong, please tell us; we take corrections seriously.
Independence & Conflicts of Interest
Our editorial opinions are independent of any commercial relationship. We sell our own research services and a book, and we may use affiliate links in the future (clearly disclosed — see the Affiliate Disclosure). Commercial considerations never change the findings in a research deliverable or the substance of an educational guide.
Use of AI
We may use AI tools to assist with drafting, formatting, and diagram creation. AI output is treated as a first draft only: a qualified human reviews and corrects it, and legal/statutory claims are checked against primary sources before publication.
