Interview Editorial Policy

1. No payment is accepted for an interview or for how it is presented. If that ever changes, the interview is labeled Sponsored at the top.
2. Every interviewee's Florida license is confirmed active before publishing, and the license numbers appear on the page.
3. The interviewee reviews the final draft for accuracy of their own quotes. The site decides headlines, layout, and editor's notes.
4. Any statement about a code, statute, or local rule is checked against an official source. If it cannot be confirmed, it carries an editor's note or the Unverified badge.
5. No ratings, rankings, or review stars appear on interview pages.
6. Interviews are reviewed once a year and dated with "Last reviewed."
7. Building officials are interviewed only by invitation, speaking for themselves, and are never quoted as their department's position.
