Fact Checking
Last updated: July 15, 2026Last reviewed: July 12, 2026
Our standard
Educational claims on MyHOAAppeal should be supportable by cited primary or clearly identified secondary sources. We prefer official legislative publications, enacted statute text, and recognized government or university consumer resources over anonymous forums or unverified summaries.
What we check
- Statute citations and short-name references on state pages
- Timeline, notice, and hearing descriptions for overbreadth
- FAQ answers for consistency with the article body and sources
- Whether disclaimer language remains clear and prominent
- That each article includes a Sources and citations section
Review workflow
Before publication or a material update, a named reviewer evaluates the draft against this checklist. The reviewer is listed in the article byline with a last reviewed date. Authors and reviewers are identified on our Authors pages.
AI-assisted drafts, when used, still require human source checks and editorial approval. See AI Transparency.
What we do not claim
Fact checking confirms editorial support for educational statements. It does not guarantee that a statute has not changed since review, that a particular HOA’s CC&Rs match statewide defaults, or that a defense will succeed in your dispute. Always verify current law and your governing documents, and consult a licensed attorney for advice about your situation.
Corrections
If you find a factual error, outdated citation, or broken source link, email us through the Contact page with the article URL, the incorrect passage, and a suggested primary source. Substantive corrections update the last reviewed date after editorial verification.
