Add your case · in my words

If the county did this to you, tell me. Quietly.

I am not looking for a crowd. I am gathering a record. If Nevada County has cited you on paperwork it could not produce, or told you “no records exist” about your own land, add your account below. One family's file is a story. Fifty is a pattern.

Comparing notes is the one thing this process is built to keep us from doing. So let's compare notes.

— Josh Wolf · HOME, outside Nevada City

What happens when you do

Step one

You tell me what happened, in a few sentences. Only what you're comfortable sharing.

Step two

I read it, and look for where your file rhymes with others, the missing records, the moving standard.

Step three

If a pattern is there, we decide together what to do with it. Nothing public with your name unless you say yes.

An email is all I need. I won't add you to anything.

03town or road is enough

You don't have to give a full address here.

A few plain sentences. What they said, and when.

06optional

This opens your own email app with your note drafted. Nothing is sent or saved anywhere until you press send.

No trackers

This page loads nothing from anyone else. No analytics, no cookies, no pixels.

No money

There is nothing to donate to, and there never will be. This is a record, not a fund.

No names without a yes

Your name stays between us unless you tell me otherwise, in writing.

Not ready to write me? Do this instead.

Ask your county for its records, while it's cheap and calm.

If you own land here, you can send the county a short public-records request for the permit and zoning history of your own parcel, long before anyone is knocking. The time to learn what the county can and cannot produce about your home is before it matters, not after. Ask me and I'll show you the plain way to do it.
