## How it's built

* Listings are rebuilt from the official source files on each refresh; every listing shows its source and retrieval date.
* Rules and cost guides link the statute, regulation, agency page or official fee schedule they rely on. Where we couldn't confirm something from an official source, we say so or leave it out.
* Nothing here is legal advice. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency or town before you act.

## Independence

Lead Paint Roster is independent. It isn't affiliated with any government agency, licensing board or contractor, and a listing is not an endorsement.
