The Rules Ledger

Coverage

Covered states

This is the complete, published coverage list for The Rules Ledger, as of Nov 8, 2026 (Tracker v1). If a state is not listed here, its rules are not maintained — we would rather say that plainly than imply coverage we do not have.

Depth statesRe-checked on a rolling basis

"Depth" means the full Tracker treatment for that state: compensation and buyer agreements, MLS policy for its major MLSs, forms in force, licensing and CE, and transaction law — every entry primary-sourced with a last-checked date.

California

7 rules in force, 3 January 1, 2027 cluster items. CRMLS directly monitored.

Texas

12 rules in force. HAR re-captured periodically from its public rules PDF; NTREIS held — association output only.

Florida

11 rules in force, 1 January 1, 2027 cluster item. Stellar MLS directly monitored; the merged MIAMI / BeachesMLS held — association output only.

Washington

5 rules in force, 4 January 1, 2027 cluster items. NWMLS directly monitored; NWMLS form versions are member-only and not tracked.

North Carolina

8 rules in force. Canopy MLS and Doorify MLS directly monitored.

National layer

10 entries: NAR settlement practice changes, MLS Handbook policy, the Code of Ethics, and the federal overlay (GSE appraisal and condo standards, federal reporting). Applies in every state. See the full Tracker.

Not covered yetStated plainly

Every other state is not maintained in v1: no state-specific entries, no monitoring, no implied coverage. City and county ordinances are not covered. Three MLSs inside our depth states have no confirmed public rules surface — NTREIS, MIAMI MLS and BeachesMLS — and we do not claim direct, ongoing monitoring of them; their entries are one-time captures and ongoing coverage runs through association output only. When coverage expands, this page is updated and dated.
