Editorial & Source Standards

• Official first. Permit, dust, utility-locate, licensing, and jurisdiction facts come from the issuing authority or statute — not from other websites summarizing them.
• Dated. Sourced factual blocks carry the date they were checked. Dates change only when the material is actually rechecked, never automatically.
• Attributed prices only. National cost figures appear only with the publisher's name and update date, and are never presented as Mesa quotes. This site publishes no unattributed price claims.
• Jurisdiction discipline. County requirements are attributed to the county; city requirements to the city. Maricopa County's directive figures are never printed as City of Mesa requirements.
• Honest gaps. Where a fact is not verified, the page says so — directory rows in the permit reference are labeled as directory rows, not dressed up as verified data.

No invented reviews, ratings, project counts, years in business, team photos, or contractor-credential language about this site itself — this site is a publisher, not a contractor. No guaranteed prices, schedules, or outcomes that belong to a provider's written quote. No implication that any removal method automatically makes ground buildable.

Errors are corrected in place and the affected page's verification date is updated. To report one, use the contact page with the page and the fact in question. Material corrections to sourced agency information are treated as urgent.

Pages on this site are drafted and maintained with the help of AI writing tools, working from the sourced materials in the evidence ledger. Every sourced factual claim is tied to a named authority and a verification date, and the sourcing rules above apply regardless of how a sentence was drafted. Responsibility for what is published rests with the publisher — see about this site.
