What is a Public Notice?
Public notices, like other types of ads, are required to give the public the crucial information they need so that they may make informed opinions and decisions before a ruling or law is made. They are issued by the government or a legislative body in many lawmaking proceedings or before rulemaking. It’s important to address economic and environmental issues and decisions that impact the public. These issues require careful consideration and analysis due to their far-reaching implications.
How to write and place a public notice
- Notices typically need to be run in a specific city, state, or in some cases, ads will run in nationwide papers. Determining where your notice needs to run is the first step.
- Contact the newspaper agency or agency that specializes in placing legal notices.
- Write your ad (see additional information on what information to include below) or to reduce the length of your ad. You may abbreviate whenever necessary.
- Determine which days you will need your ad to run. This may be a certain number of days or weekends.
- Ask for a quote.
- Approve you ad
- Submit or confirm ad placement to run (ask for proof so that you can see how the ad will appear in the newspaper.)
- Request tear sheet or affidavit after the ad has run.
When writing a legal notice ad you will want to make sure to include more than just the facts. Legal notices are meant to explain to the public why their community participation is important.

Letting people know that their involvement makes a difference is a huge part of writing an effective notice.
