# Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Anyone can ask for a correction: homeowners, businesses, other sources. Every change is dated.

Process

## How a correction works

### 1. Tell us

Use the form below. Say what's wrong and, if you can, where the right information can be checked.

### 2. We re-check at the source

We reply within two business days and re-check within ten. We go to the source, not just your word or the business's.

### 3. We publish the change

The line gets a new date in the ledger, and bigger changes get a note on the page.

We don't remove accurate findings, and businesses can't pay for a correction.

Request a correction

[Local **Proof**](https://thelocalproof.com/)

Proof that a business actually does the work: permits, review history and public records, each with its source and date. What a business only claims is labelled as a claim.
