Report a Correction

Fee schedules change. Source URLs go dead. Effective dates get superseded. If you find a fee, source link, jurisdiction detail, or effective date on ZoneFee that appears wrong or outdated, this page is the formal channel for reporting it.

How to Submit a Correction

Send corrections to contact@zonefee.com. There is no contact form, no phone line, and no postal address - the email channel is the only path. Use the subject prefix [Correction] followed by the jurisdiction name so the message is easy to triage. Example: [Correction] Round Rock TX zoning fees.

What to Include

The more of the following information your message contains, the faster the correction can be reviewed and applied:

  • Jurisdiction. The city, county, authority, or special district the correction applies to.
  • Fee type. Impact fees, zoning application fees, utility tap fees, proffers, or special-district fees - the category from the ZoneFee page.
  • Current ZoneFee page URL. The exact page where the issue appears (for example, https://zonefee.com/states/texas/round-rock/zoning-fees/).
  • Official source URL. A direct link to the adopted ordinance, fee schedule PDF, or official department page that shows the corrected number, date, or detail.
  • Effective date. The date the corrected figure or rule became effective per the official source.
  • PDF or screenshot. If the official source is a PDF or a portal page that may move, a copy of the relevant page or section helps confirm the correction.
  • Description of what changed. One or two sentences describing what is wrong on the current ZoneFee page and what the correct figure or detail should be.

Corrections without an official source can still be reviewed, but ZoneFee will not change a published figure on the strength of an unsourced report.

What ZoneFee Will and Will Not Publish

ZoneFee does not promise a response time. Review timing depends on operator availability and the complexity of the correction. Submissions are not acknowledged automatically - if a correction is applied, the relevant page will reflect the change and the changelog will record it.

Only verifiable, official-source-backed corrections are published as fact. Submissions that cannot be tied back to an adopted ordinance, an official fee schedule, or a document hosted by the jurisdiction or authority will be reviewed but will not be used to alter published data. See data sources for the full list of what counts as proof.

Review Workflow

The standard review path for a correction is:

  1. Correction received. The submission lands in the contact inbox and is read by a site maintainer.
  2. Source checked. The official source URL or document is opened and compared against the current ZoneFee page. Where the source is a PDF, the document is read directly.
  3. Repo or schema record updated. If the correction is verified, the underlying record in the ZoneFee data system is updated, including effective date and source provenance.
  4. Page and sitemap updated. The live page is regenerated, the XML sitemap is refreshed if needed, and the change is logged on the changelog.

Where a correction cannot be verified - for example, the cited source is no longer reachable, or the document conflicts with a more recent adopted ordinance - the submitter may be contacted by reply for additional source material. ZoneFee does not pay for corrections, but accurate, well-sourced reports from active practitioners are the most useful kind of feedback.
