Introduction to Public Notification

Public Notification can be used to identify a collection of properties and create structured mailing lists of owners and occupants.

Traditionally, newspapers have been used to publish public notices because they spark curiosity and have been delivered to the interested public. However, the automation of government data (parcels, addresses, and so on) and new location-enabled tools now help staff identify a collection of properties and create mailing lists of owners and occupants. This modernized approach streamlines the public notification process and allows staff to connect directly with impacted owners and occupants. It also reduces staff resources required to generate public notices and meet procedural, or statutory, requirements.

The Public Notification solution delivers a set of capabilities that help local governments identify properties, generate a list of owners or occupants, and document which properties were included in a public notice.
