access to public notices of any
state in the nation, thanks to
the newspaper industry.
In 2007, a joint effort of the
Georgia Press Association and
state newspapers resulted in
— a free website listing public
notices from each of the state’s
159 counties.
The site was redesigned in
2014, is still free to use and
searchable by map, county,
category and keyword.
Georgia newspapers do not
charge local governments for
providing this extra service.
It’s done to give Georgians the
best access possible to public
notices — the information that
affects lives every day.
