How to Reach the Editorial Team
Got a correction, a question, a press request, or a privacy enquiry? You’re in the right place. This page sets out the right channel for each kind of message and what to expect from us in response.
If your assessed value is wrong, your homestead exemption was denied, you need to file an appeal, or you have a question about your tax bill — that needs your state DOR or your county assessor or tax collector, not us. We don’t appraise property, don’t process appeals, don’t bill or collect taxes, and have no access to government systems. Find your state’s tax authority through USA.gov.
Pick the Right Subject Line
All inquiries go through one inbox: info@propertytaxusa.org. Putting the right subject line on your message gets it to the right person fastest.

- The page URL on propertytaxusa.org/ you're referring to (if relevant)
- Your state and county, if it’s a state-or-county-specific question
- What you expected to find or what you think is wrong
- If possible, a link to the state DOR or county page that supports the correction
- A contact email so we can reply (we don’t share your email — see our Privacy Policy)
If you can include the link from the state DOR or county that contradicts our page, we can verify and update without going through a search ourselves. That cuts response time roughly in half.
What We Cannot Help With
| If you need… | Go to… |
|---|---|
| To file a property-value appeal | Your county appeal board, board of equalization, or value adjustment board (linked on every state page) |
| To apply for a homestead exemption | Your county assessor with the state’s homestead form |
| To pay your property tax bill | Your county tax collector or treasurer (separate from the assessor) |
| To request public records from a state or county | The agency’s public information / open records officer under the applicable state public-records law |
| Statewide property tax guidance | Your state department of revenue or board of equalization |
| Federal tax matters | The IRS at irs.gov — and consult a CPA or tax attorney for complex federal questions |

| To find a licensed property-tax consultant | State licensing boards (where a state licenses tax consultants — Texas, for example, licenses through TDLR) |
How We Operate
propertytaxusa.org/ is a digital-only publication. We don't have a physical office open to the public, don't accept walk-in visitors, and don't publish a postal address for general correspondence. Email is the way to reach us — that lets us respond to readers from anywhere in the country and keeps overheads low so we can focus on the editorial work. If a postal address is required for a specific legal or regulatory purpose, please email us first and we'll provide one.
What We Won’t Engage With
- Abusive, threatening, or harassing messages — these are not acted on and may be reported to authorities where appropriate
- Bulk SEO outreach, link-insertion requests, and “guest post” pitches that aren’t relevant to US property tax
- Requests to remove factual statements about a state or county that are accurate and properly sourced
- Pay-for-coverage offers from property-tax-protest companies, consultants, or law firms
- Generic marketing emails, sales pitches, and unsolicited proposals not specific to our work
