How to cite incFACTS

Every page on this site ends with a Cite this page block: a plain reference, a legal-style reference, a BibTeX entry and a Wikipedia template, with the page's permanent address, the site version, the data-as-of date and today's date already filled in. Copy the one you need. This page explains what you are citing when you do.

Cite the page for the compilation

incFACTS is a compilation: verified values, their sources, their retrieval dates and their review status, assembled and kept current in one place. When you rely on that assembly - a fee table, a ranking, a filing-office contact set, a state's registered-agent rules in one view - cite the page. Include the version and the data-as-of date, because values change when states change them and the data change log records each change against a release.

Cite the official source for the fact itself

A fee, a deadline or a statutory requirement is the state's fact, not ours. Every verified row on this site names the official source it rests on - the statute section, the agency fee schedule, the form - and links it where the publisher allows. In a filing, a brief or a contract, cite that source and use incFACTS as the finding aid: NRS 76.100(1) (state business license fee), as compiled at incFACTS, https://www.incfacts.com/nevada/. Rows still pending review show no source link on purpose; do not cite them as verified.

Which figures incFACTS is the source for

Every fee row carries a basis. Published by the state means the statute or the agency's own fee schedule prints the number; cite that official source for the fact and this page as the finding aid. Observed against filings means no official page prints the figure - a portal card fee, a records fee the state bundles without listing it - and the number was confirmed against real filings in the month shown; for those figures incFACTS is the primary source and the page is the right thing to cite. Written answer from the agency means the filing office confirmed the figure in writing on the date shown, and the row quotes it. A wiki template pointing here is a reference, not an endorsement: for a published fact the editor should cite the state's own page first and this compilation second.

Statutory fee and required filing fees

Fee tables show two columns. Statutory fee is the amount fixed by statute or the agency schedule. Required filing fees is everything a filer must pay through the state's normal filing channel: the statutory fee plus any e-payment surcharge, any add-on the state bundles into the same filing, and any cost the state requires the filer to pay a third party (South Carolina's attorney certificate is the standing example). The asterisk on the column points at the components list, which names each part and who receives it. Neither column includes any service provider's own charge.

Addresses are stable

State records live at /<state-name>/, analysis pages under /analysis/, glossary entries under /glossary/. Addresses do not change between releases; content does, which is why the version travels with the citation. The statute-text library (/statute-text/) is a dated capture of public law and is excluded from search engines; cite the official code publisher for statutory text and use the library as a convenience copy.

Reuse

These are the terms the site's dataset markup points to. Facts may be quoted with attribution and a link to the page. Statutory text reproduced here is public law and free to reuse. The compilation, the verification records, the analyses and the glossary are ours; bulk reuse or republication needs permission (about incFACTS). Programmatic access is the API and MCP tier, which returns the same citation fields with every answer.
