Legal & Policies

Terms of Use

Effective date: September 21, 2026

These Terms of Use apply to the Untax the Roof website and its publicly available content, forms, and services.

By using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Educational and Advocacy Purpose

Untax the Roof publishes research, educational material, commentary, organizational positions, and advocacy concerning property taxation and related public-policy issues.

Untax the Roof openly advocates the complete abolition of recurring property taxation. The existence of that position does not mean that every factual source linked or discussed on the website endorses our conclusions.

No Individual Legal, Tax, or Financial Advice

Website content is provided for general informational, educational, and advocacy purposes. It is not individualized legal, tax, accounting, financial, or other professional advice.

Laws, deadlines, and procedures differ among jurisdictions and may change. People facing a tax lien, foreclosure, tax sale, redemption deadline, court proceeding, or other time-sensitive matter should consult a qualified professional familiar with the applicable jurisdiction.

Contacting Untax the Roof does not create an attorney-client, accountant-client, adviser-client, employment, agency, partnership, or other professional relationship.

Accuracy and Updates

Untax the Roof works to publish accurate, sourced information, but we cannot guarantee that every item will always be complete, current, or free from error.

Government websites, statutes, regulations, court decisions, datasets, and external links may change. Historical materials may reflect laws or circumstances that are no longer current.

Readers should examine the cited original sources and verify current requirements before relying on information for an important decision.

Possible errors may be reported under our Research Standards and Corrections Policy.

Organizational Positions and Third-Party Sources

A citation or link identifies supporting, relevant, or opposing material. It does not necessarily mean that the source agrees with Untax the Roof.

Linking to a third-party website does not mean that Untax the Roof endorses every statement, person, product, organization, or policy associated with that website.

Ownership of Website Material

Unless otherwise identified, original writing, graphics, charts, designs, logos, branding, and other materials created by or for Untax the Roof are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Government records, court opinions, statutes, datasets, quotations, photographs, and other third-party materials remain subject to their original ownership, legal status, licenses, and permitted uses. Untax the Roof does not claim ownership merely because those materials appear on or are linked from the website.

Permitted Sharing

You may share links to public Untax the Roof webpages, use the website's provided sharing tools, and quote brief portions of original written content for commentary, discussion, criticism, reporting, or educational purposes when Untax the Roof is clearly identified and a link to the original page is provided.

Without permission, you may not republish a complete Untax the Roof article or substantial portion of one; remove source citations or context; present our material as your own; alter material in a way that falsely represents our position; use our logo or branding to suggest authorization; commercially exploit original material; or create a misleading copy of the website or an official-looking chapter.

Requests for broader reuse may be sent to info@untaxtheroof.org.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict a use that applicable law independently permits.

Trademarks and Organizational Identity

The Untax the Roof name, logo, slogans, and other identifying marks may not be used to imply official authorization, endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or chapter status without written permission.

No person may solicit money, lobby, establish an organization, enter an agreement, issue a public statement, or make commitments in the name of Untax the Roof without written authorization.

Submitted Material

You retain any ownership rights you hold in original material that you submit.

By voluntarily submitting material, you give Untax the Roof limited permission to receive, store, copy, organize, review, and internally evaluate it for the purpose for which it was submitted. Submission alone does not give Untax the Roof permission to publicly identify you or publish a private personal story.

If we want to publish, publicly attribute, substantially edit, or broadly distribute privately submitted material, we will seek appropriate permission.

This limitation does not prevent Untax the Roof from independently using or citing public records, public-domain material, previously published information, or facts that are not privately owned.

Your Responsibilities When Submitting Material

You must not submit material that you know is false or misleading; that you lack authority to provide; that unlawfully violates another person's privacy or intellectual-property rights; that contains malware, stolen credentials, threats, harassment, or unlawful discriminatory content; that includes highly sensitive information we did not request; or that otherwise violates applicable law.

Submitting material does not guarantee that it will be reviewed, investigated, published, returned, or preserved.

Public Accounts and Interactive Features

The initial website may not provide public accounts, comments, forums, or direct posting.

If interactive features are added later, Untax the Roof may establish additional rules governing accounts, moderation, acceptable conduct, suspension, removal, and submitted content. The Terms will be updated before or when those features are introduced.

Prohibited Conduct

You may not use the website to break the law; threaten, harass, intimidate, or impersonate another person; falsely claim to represent Untax the Roof; gain unauthorized access; disrupt website operation; introduce malicious code; harvest personal information; circumvent security measures; or collect money or information while falsely presenting yourself as connected with Untax the Roof.

External Services

The website may use third-party providers for hosting, forms, email, analytics, security, document storage, or other services.

Use of a third-party service may also be governed by that provider's terms and privacy practices. Untax the Roof is not responsible for third-party services it does not control.

Availability and Changes

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue website content or features when reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance, organizational needs, or other legitimate purposes.

We do not guarantee that the website or any particular material will always remain available.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

Untax the Roof does not guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, or suitable for every particular purpose.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that applicable law does not permit to be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Untax the Roof and the people acting on its behalf will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of, or inability to use, the website.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated as the website, organization, features, or legal requirements change.

Material revisions will be identified by an updated effective date. Continued use after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
