Terms of use

zipcode.tax provides free property tax rate lookups, calculators, and comparison tools for ZIP codes, counties, and states across the United States. The information is compiled from publicly available government data sources for educational and informational purposes.

This is the most important section of these Terms. Please read it carefully.

The information provided on this Site, including property tax rates, estimated tax amounts, median home values, and exemption summaries, is for general informational purposes only. zipcode.tax does not provide tax advice, legal advice, financial advice, or real estate advice.

Tax rates displayed are median effective rates based on statistical data, not the exact rate that applies to your specific property. Calculator estimates are approximations. Exemption information is a general overview. Data may not reflect the most recent changes.

For your actual property tax obligation, you must consult your county assessor's office, your official property tax bill, or a qualified tax professional.

You agree that any decisions you make based on information from this Site are made at your own risk.

Our data is derived primarily from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate information, we explicitly disclaim any warranty regarding accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability. Property tax data is inherently complex — rates vary between taxing districts within the same ZIP code.

THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

You agree not to: violate applicable law; scrape or crawl data without permission; overload or disrupt the Site; attempt unauthorized access; create competing products without permission; misrepresent data as official government data or professional advice; or remove copyright notices.

API usage is subject to rate limits. Non-commercial use is permitted without prior permission. Commercial use requires written permission — contact api@zipcode.tax. Attribution to zipcode.tax is required when using API data.

The Site's design, code, and original content are protected by copyright. Government-sourced data is in the public domain, but our compilation and presentation may be protected. You may share links and reference data with attribution.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for third-party content. Advertisements are served by Google AdSense and governed by the advertiser's own terms.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ZIPCODE.TAX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY ERRORS IN DATA, FINANCIAL LOSSES, OR DECISIONS MADE IN RELIANCE ON INFORMATION FROM THE SITE. SINCE THE SITE IS FREE TO USE, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY IS ZERO.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless zipcode.tax from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Site, violation of these Terms, or violation of applicable law.

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date. Continued use constitutes acceptance.

We may restrict or terminate access at any time without notice. Provisions regarding liability, indemnification, and IP survive termination.

These Terms are governed by applicable law. Disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or courts of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision is found unenforceable, it shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and remaining provisions remain in effect.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement regarding your use of the Site.
