How to Reach Us

The best way to reach the team is through our contact email, listed in the footer and at the bottom of this page. We read every message and reply to as many as we reasonably can, prioritizing specific, actionable notes over vague ones. There is no phone line and no paid support tier; the site is free and so is asking a question.

When you write, a clear subject line helps us route your note. Use 'Data correction', 'Broken link', 'Content question', or 'Partnership' so it lands with the right person on the first try rather than bouncing around.

What to Include

A useful message tells us the state and county involved, the specific page or calculator, and the exact figure or sentence at issue. For a data correction, include the rate you believe is correct and, if you have it, the county or state source that shows it. The more precise you are, the faster we can verify and fix.

For a content question, quote the sentence and say what confused you; we may rewrite the guide to prevent the same confusion for the next reader. Screenshots are welcome if a calculator produced an unexpected result — tell us the inputs you used so we can reproduce it.

Typical Response Time

Most messages receive a reply within a few business days. Data corrections that we can verify against a public source are usually acted on quickly, because they improve the site for everyone. Broad questions that need research may take longer, and we may answer with a link to an existing guide rather than a custom write-up.

Volume varies, and a polite, specific note always moves faster than a long, angry one. If you have not heard back in two weeks, a short follow-up is reasonable; messages lost to spam filters do happen, and a second try often gets through.

Data Corrections and Updates

Stale or wrong rates are our highest-priority item. Counties update millage and exemption rules on their own schedules, and with 3,000+ counties we rely on users to flag what we miss. Tell us the jurisdiction and the correct figure with a source, and we will confirm and update the calculator or guide.

We keep a light internal log of corrections so patterns — an entire state that changed its homestead amount, for example — get a sweep rather than a one-off patch. That is why a well-sourced note is worth more than a complaint: it can trigger a fix that helps thousands of visitors.

Bug Reports and Broken Links

If a calculator misbehaves or a link 404s, send the page URL and what you were doing. Note your browser and device if you can, since some issues are environment-specific. We treat broken calculators as urgent because they directly block someone from getting an answer.

A good bug report reads like this: 'On the escrow calculator, entering a zero insurance amount returns NaN instead of zero.' That single sentence lets us reproduce and patch without a long back-and-forth.

What We Cannot Do

We cannot give tax, legal, or financial advice, and we will not interpret your personal situation or tell you what to file. For that, contact your county assessor and a licensed professional. We also cannot access your actual assessment or pull your bill; those live with the government, not with us.

We cannot guarantee a reply to bulk, promotional, or unrelated messages, and we do not participate in link exchanges or paid placements that would compromise the site's independence. Requests that fall outside our scope are politely declined.

Before You Write: Self-Service First

Many questions are answered on the site already. The FAQ page covers common calculator and exemption questions. The disclaimer explains why estimates are not bills. The by-state guide and blog articles address most 'how does this work in my state' questions. Checking those first often gets you an instant answer and frees us to fix data faster.

If your question is 'what will I actually owe', the honest answer is always: ask your county. We can help you understand the math, but only the assessor can state your liability — and pointing you there is the most useful thing we can do.

Our Related Tools

If your question is really about a mortgage payment, a renovation budget, or a cross-state move, our sibling calculator sites may serve you better, and links to them appear throughout the site. They are separate operators with their own contact channels, so reach them directly for their tools.

We mention this because asking the right team gets you the right answer fastest. A property tax question belongs here; a PITI payment question belongs with the mortgage tool. Knowing which saves everyone time.

Mailing and Privacy

We do not publish a physical mailing address for a small online operation, and we do not need one to help you. All correspondence is handled by email. Any personal detail you share is covered by our privacy policy and used only to respond and, where relevant, to verify a correction.

Please do not include sensitive financial account numbers or documents in a message. Describe the issue in words; if we ever needed a document to verify a correction, we would tell you the safe way to share it.

Response Expectations by Request Type

Not all messages get the same turnaround, and being candid about that helps you choose how to write. Verifiable data corrections move fastest because they have a clear action. Broken-link and calculator bugs come next. General content questions and partnership notes take longest and may receive a brief, link-based reply.

Promotional, bulk, or out-of-scope messages may go unanswered; that is not rudeness but capacity. A focused note about a real error will almost always beat a long complaint, because it tells us exactly what to do.

Accessibility Feedback

If the site is hard to use with your browser, device, or assistive technology, tell us specifically what failed — which page, what you tried, what happened. Accessibility reports are treated as defects, not suggestions, because a tool that excludes users has failed.

We may follow up with a question or two to reproduce the issue, and we appreciate patience if a fix requires a code change rather than a quick edit. Your report can make the site work for the next person with the same setup.

Press and Media

Journalists and researchers are welcome to cite the site with attribution. For data methodology or a statistic you plan to publish, email us so we can point you to the primary source and confirm the figure's date, which strengthens your own work and ours.

We do not pay for coverage and we do not grant exclusives on public data; the rates and methods are open. A short note about your deadline helps us prioritize a reply, since news cycles wait for no one.

Community Contributions

Some of our best corrections come from users who know their county better than any dataset. If you maintain local tax information — a clerk's office, an assessor, a HOA — and want to help keep a page accurate, reach out. Verified local knowledge is the most valuable input we get.

We credit public-sector corrections where appropriate and always protect personal contact details. The site improves most when the people closest to the numbers help us hold them, and we are glad to listen.

What Happens to Your Message

When you write, your message lands in a shared inbox reviewed by the small team that runs the site. We use it only to reply and, where you report a data error, to verify and correct it. We do not add your address to a newsletter and we do not sell or trade contact lists with anyone, including our sibling calculator sites.

If your note contains a correction we adopt, we may keep a short internal note of what changed and when, but we strip personal details from that record. The goal is an auditable trail of fixes, not a profile of correspondents.

Language and Tone

We welcome messages in plain English and appreciate directness. You do not need formal wording; 'your Texas rate looks 0.3% high' is a perfect report. Rudeness is not required to be taken seriously, and a calm, specific note simply gets a faster and more useful reply.

We aim to answer in the same spirit we receive, with straight information and a clear next step. When we cannot help — because a question needs a professional — we say so and point you to the right door rather than guessing.

Our Promise on Replies

We cannot promise a same-day answer, but we can promise a real one: if your message is in scope and actionable, you will hear from a person, not an auto-responder that closes the loop. A correction we make because of your note is the most concrete thank-you we can offer, and many pages carry quiet improvements traced directly to user emails.

If we cannot help, we will say so and point you to the right door — usually your county assessor or a licensed professional — rather than leaving you with a vague non-answer. Respect for your time is part of running a tool people trust with their household math.
