Why is Public Notice important?
According to the Pennsylvania News Media Association, Public notices inform citizens about life-changing events planned by local governments, including tax increases, home foreclosures, zoning changes and much more before those actions are taken.

Pennsylvania’s newspapers remain the most read, most reliable place to read and establish legal proof of public notices, with nearly 8 in 10 of Pennsylvania adults reading a newspaper in print or online each week, and 87% of Pennsylvanians agreeing that keeping the public informed about government activities through public notices is a worthwhile use of government funds.

What are the Public Notice rules and requirements?
