USBuilding.org is an independent U.S.-focused informational resource covering building departments, permit searches, inspections, planning, zoning, building codes, fees, forms, contractor-related resources, and building supplies.
We welcome factual corrections, official-source updates, broken-link reports, editorial questions, privacy inquiries, and relevant business communications. Local building information changes frequently, so reliable reader feedback helps us improve the accuracy and usefulness of our guides.

What We Want to Hear About
Building Departments
Report incorrect department names, addresses, office hours, contact routes, service areas, or department reorganizations.
Permit Search Portals
Let us know when a permit-search system moves, changes provider, stops working, or requires different search steps.
Planning & Zoning
Report changes to planning departments, zoning maps, land-use portals, zoning applications, variances, or related resources.
Building Codes
Send official information about adopted code editions, amendments, effective dates, or code-enforcement resources.
Inspections
Report changes to inspection scheduling, inspection types, reinspection procedures, or final inspection information.
Fees & Forms
Tell us when permit fees, plan-review fees, application forms, checklists, or submission requirements change.
Contractor Resources
Report changes to contractor registration, state licensing, credential lookup, or government verification systems.
Building Supplies
Send corrections involving manufacturer information, technical data, product specifications, or official code-related sources.
Broken Links
Report official pages, PDFs, permit portals, GIS tools, or government resources that no longer work.
How to Submit a Strong Correction Request
A specific, well-supported correction can usually be reviewed more accurately than a general message saying that a page is outdated.
- Include the exact page URL. Copy the complete USBuilding.org URL containing the information you want reviewed.
- Identify the exact statement or resource. Point to the department, fee, code edition, phone number, permit link, application, inspection process, address, or other information at issue.
- Explain the correction. Tell us what is incorrect or what has changed.
- Provide an official source. A current government page, ordinance, official PDF, fee schedule, permit portal, planning page, or agency notice is especially helpful.
- Include the effective date. If a new code, fee, process, or ordinance becomes effective on a particular date, include that date so we can distinguish current and future requirements.
Examples of Corrections We Review
| Issue | Best Supporting Source |
|---|---|
| Wrong building department | Official local government page identifying the correct department. |
| Permit portal replaced | New official permit-search or application portal. |
| Incorrect office location | Current official department contact page. |

| New building code adopted | Official ordinance, adoption notice, or building-code page. |
| Inspection process changed | Official inspection instructions or scheduling portal. |
| Zoning information changed | Official zoning ordinance, planning page, or GIS source. |
| Application form replaced | New official application or online submission system. |

How We Evaluate Information Sent to Us
We generally give the greatest weight to the source with direct authority over the process being discussed.
- Official city, county, township, parish, borough, or state government pages.
- Official building, planning, zoning, inspection, and development-services departments.
- Official permit and public-record portals.
- Ordinances, adopted-code notices, fee schedules, official forms, and government PDFs.
- Official GIS, parcel, zoning, or planning systems.
- State licensing and regulatory agencies.
- Manufacturer or technical documentation when the issue concerns a product.
- Other credible sources when no controlling official source is available.
Corrections vs. Official Decisions
Correcting information on USBuilding.org does not change a city permit, inspection result, zoning classification, official property record, enforcement action, contractor license, or other government record.
If an official government record itself is incorrect, you will generally need to contact the agency that maintains that record.
Privacy Questions
You may contact us about website privacy, cookies, advertising, analytics, affiliate tracking, or information you previously submitted.
Business, Advertising & Partnership Inquiries
Relevant businesses, manufacturers, building-supply companies, software providers, industry organizations, and other companies may contact USBuilding.org regarding legitimate advertising or partnership opportunities.
Commercial relationships do not change our responsibility to distinguish private businesses from official government agencies.
A paid relationship does not mean a product is code approved, permit approved, engineering approved, government endorsed, or appropriate for a particular project.
Media & Professional Inquiries
Journalists, public agencies, building-industry professionals, researchers, manufacturers, and subject-matter professionals may contact us if they identify an important source, correction, or topic that could improve our coverage.
