Every page on this site is sourced to a primary document: a county ordinance, a state statute, a permit office fee schedule, or a direct agency statement. When that sourcing is wrong, outdated, or incomplete, we correct it on the record and update the relevant page.
How to report an error
Email corrections@centralfloridaadu.com with:
- The URL of the page where the error appears
- The specific claim you believe is wrong
- A source, if you have one (ordinance section, county fee schedule, permit office statement)
We verify every submission against the primary source. You can expect a response within 48 hours and a correction or explanation within five business days. If we correct the record, we note it in the log below.
The contact page has more detail on what to include and what to expect back.
Our standard
We do not correct content because someone disagrees with a characterization or finds a tone unfavorable. We correct content when a factual claim is demonstrably wrong against the primary source: wrong setback number, outdated fee schedule, superseded ordinance reference, incorrect effective date.
Corrections are permanent and logged here. We do not silently alter pages.
