The Right Channel for Every Question
assessorpropertysearch.org/ is editorial — we cannot pull property records, perform title searches, file appeals on your behalf, or provide FCRA-regulated services. This page sets out exactly what we can help with, what we cannot, and where to send each kind of question.
What We Can Help With
- Corrections to any county assessor URL, exemption procedure, appeal deadline, walkthrough step, address, or phone number on the site
- Reports of broken property-search portal links — top-priority correction queue
- Reports of exemption procedures or appeal deadlines that don’t match the county’s current published page
- Privacy and data-rights requests under U.S. state laws (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, TDPSA, FDBR, OCPA, and others)
- Cookie preferences and Global Privacy Control questions
- Accessibility issues and reports of barriers using assistive technology
- DMCA copyright notices and counter-notices
- Press inquiries about the site, methodology, or editorial decisions
- Editorial questions about specific guides, methodology, or sourcing
- Notification of county office rebrands, portal redesigns, or major procedural changes
What We Cannot Help With
- Pulling property records — every record is held by the county office; access is through the county’s own portal
- Performing title searches or providing title-insurance data — title work is licensed activity
- Tenant-screening, employment background checks, credit decisions, insurance underwriting, or any FCRA-permissible-purpose request — we are not a CRA and any such request is rejected
- Filing exemption applications or assessment appeals on your behalf — those go to the county assessor
- Interpreting whether you specifically qualify for a homestead, senior, veteran, disabled, or agricultural exemption — consult the county or a property tax professional
- Predicting whether your assessment appeal will succeed — depends on county-specific evidence and procedure
- Resolving boundary disputes, easement questions, or zoning matters — those go to the county and a real estate attorney
- Property tax billing, payment plans, or delinquency questions — those go to the county tax assessor-collector or treasurer (separate office from the assessor in most states)
- Deed copies, deed history, lien searches — those go to the county recorder / register of deeds (separate office in most jurisdictions)
- Adding paid placement, “preferred listings,” or sponsored guide content — we do not accept paid placement
- Legal advice on any property matter — consult a licensed attorney
- Financial or tax advice — consult a CPA, licensed property tax consultant, or attorney
