Disclosures

Charter determines regulatory requirements and prepares and submits filings on your behalf as an authorized agent. Charter is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Requirements are sourced from published District of Columbia code and regulations with citations provided for independent verification. Public records may lag actual filings.

Not legal advice

Nothing produced by Charter — including audit results, obligation lists, renewal calendars, and change alerts — constitutes legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using the service. Where a matter turns on interpretation, you should retain counsel admitted in the relevant jurisdiction. Charter will tell you when it believes that is the case.

Sourcing and citation

Every obligation Charter reports names the code, the section, and the administering agency. Those citations exist so that you can verify any determination independently. Where a condition cannot be resolved from published code alone, the obligation is reported as likely required rather than asserted as fact.

Public records

Public records may lag actual filings by 30 to 90 days, and some agencies do not publish records at all. A gap in an audit means Charter could not verify the permit on public record. It does not mean the permit does not exist.

Filing outcomes

Charter submits filings and tracks agency acceptance. Issuance timelines are set by the agency and are outside Charter’s control. Government fees are passed through at cost.

Demonstration data

While a jurisdiction is marked as a preview, audit results for it are produced from Charter’s seeded data set rather than a live public-records query, and the result page says so. Do not rely on preview results for a compliance decision.
