Corrections Policy

Accuracy is central to The Dwelling Index's mission. When we publish something that is incorrect, we correct it promptly and transparently. This page explains how our corrections process works.

How to Report an Error

If you spot an error in any of our guides — an incorrect cost figure, an outdated regulation, a broken link, or a factual inaccuracy — please let us know:

Email us at corrections@thedwellingindex.com

Please include the page URL, the specific claim you believe is incorrect, and any supporting information or sources.

What Counts as a Material Error

A material error is one that could affect a reader's decision-making. Examples include:

  • An incorrect cost figure or cost range
  • A misstatement of law, regulation, or zoning requirement
  • An inaccurate description of a financing product or eligibility rule
  • A factual claim about a company that is demonstrably wrong
  • A citation to a source that does not support the claim made

How We Review Correction Requests

When we receive a correction request, the editorial team verifies the claim against primary sources. If the error is confirmed, we correct the content and publish a correction notice. If the original content is accurate, we may still update it for clarity.

How Corrections Are Documented

Material corrections are noted at the top of the affected article with the date of the correction and a brief description of what was changed. The correction notice remains permanently.

Minor fixes — typos, formatting improvements, broken links, and non-substantive wording changes — are made without a formal correction notice.

Routine Updates vs. Corrections

A correction fixes something that was wrong when published. A routine update reflects new information — a law changed, a company updated its pricing, or new data became available. Routine updates are reflected in the "last verified" date. Corrections are documented separately with a correction notice.
