Latest Public Notice Newsletter Available: Discussion and Some Q and As on the New Newspaper Website Notice Option

By FPA Staff

We have discussed in previous newsletters the new thresholds for newspaper legal notice qualification in the new Florida public notice law, HB 35. In the next newsletter, a second major area of the bill is addressed, and this relates to newspaper website-only notification. Specifically, the bill gives “government agencies” the option to publish governmental notices solely on the website of any “newspaper in the county to which the notice pertains” and on FPA’s statewide website at floridapublicnotices.com.

Only certain types of notices can be run using this option and there are several steps that government agencies must take. These requirements and a few Q and As are included in the discussion.

The newsletters can be found at the Members Resources page on the FPA website., https://flpress.com/members/member-resources/public-notices-resources/public-notice-newsletter-templates/

In the next newsletter we will provide more Q and A’s that further detail the newspaper website notice option.
