Public Notices & You
Public Notices and Legal Ads contain activities and events that impact citizens' lives because of governmental actions or requirements.
They include such important actions as government hearings and meetings; zoning, annexation and land use changes; election notices; municipal budgets, taxes and special assessment information; requests for bids on government construction and service contracts; permit and licensing applications, land and water use regulations; judicial and executive sales, disposal of foreclosed and abandoned property and many more. All of these actions affect you and your community.
The Florida Legislature has recognized the need and right of the public to be informed about these activities and events. As a result, public notices and legal ads are published in newspapers to effectively disseminate this important information throughout their communities while also providing historical preservation and easy public access.
With today's mobile society, however, many citizens have interests outside their local areas and a need to be informed of governmental activities on a broader scope. This is the reason FloridaPublicNotices.com was created. They enable individuals and businesses throughout the state -- and nation or world for that matter -- to be able to quickly and effectively search public notices and legal ads throughout Florida by means of a centralized database.
A Newspaper Partnership
Thousands of public notices and legal ads are published each day in newspapers across the state. The state's daily and weekly newspapers have always been committed to providing important community information to help keep citizens informed. Now they have joined together to create this single, convenient website, allowing you to search through a database of statewide public notices and legal ads at no cost. You can also sign up for e-mail service to have notices of interest to you delivered directly to your computer.
Join the Partnership
The Florida Press Service has taken the lead in providing a simple, easy method to allow all Florida's newspapers to present their public notices and legal ads to citizens throughout the state. Currently over 100,000 public notices and legal ads are posted monthly on FloridaPublicNotices.com.
There is no risk or cost involved for newspapers to join in this effort and contribute to the success of this unique statewide public information website.
