Public Notices, sometimes called legal notices,
are published each week in The Georgia Post,
the designated legal organ for Crawford County.
These notices inform the public of certain actions
being taken within the legal system.
A brief synopsis of the various kinds is listed be
low. This is not an all encompassing list and any
questions should be directed to our staff or the
appropriate office.
• Debtors & Creditors, falls under notices dealing
with estates. There are over 20 different kind of
estate notices, the most common being Notice
to Debtors & Creditors. This lets the court know if
a deceased person owes any money to some
one. Most estate notices come from the Probate
Judge's office, the individual themselves or an
attorney.
• Juvenile Court covers a broad spectrum of no
tices dealing with juveniles. It includes adoptions,
custody and name changes for those under age.
These notices can come from the Juvenile Court,
the Probate Court or an attorney.
• Foreclosures, also called Notice of Sale, are
usually the result of non-payment on a loan.
Property used to secure the loan can be taken
back by the lender and sold to pay back the note.
These typically run four weeks, sometimes more.
They usually come from an attorney.
• Tax Sales are also notices of sale but are where
a person has not paid property taxes (ad valorem)
and the county or city is selling the property to
collect the unpaid taxes. Tax Sales usually are
held at least once a year and sometimes twice a
year, depending on the tax commissioner's office.
• Name changes and other domestic issues like
divorce, etc. can come from the probate court or
an attorney.
• Law Enforcement Seizures are required to be
published when a law enforcement agency has
seized money, guns, vehicles or other property
during an investigation or raid. Notices come
from the department making the seizure.
•Referendums might include a SPLOST vote, or
an election for alcohol sales and more. Typically,
they come from the entity involved.
• Planning & Zoning covers a wide range of legal
issues including but not limited to zoning and
rezoning, amendments to ordinances, annexation
and the public hearings involved with each.
Public notices must reach our office by Noon
the Friday before the expected publication date.
Rates for notices are established by the state of
Georgia. Most legal ads are billed at a rate of $10
per 100 words and we use the word count tool in
the Word program to determine the number of
words. Some legals such as incorporations, debt
ors and creditors and others have a $40 flat fee.
Most notices require a tear sheet and affidavit at
a fee of $20 to cover the costs involved. There is
a $25 early cancellation fee for all public notices
after the deadline. Prepayment is required in
most situations and in case of cancellation, we
cannot provide a refund check but will carry a
credit for the submitting agency. We accept
cash, check and credit cards.
Notices can be emailed, preferably in a word
document to gapostlegals@pstel.net. They may
also be mailed to PO box 860, Roberta, GA 31078
or courier serviced to 58 S. Dugger Ave., Roberta,
GA 31078, Attention Legal Dept. Please include
your contact information. Call our office at 478-
836-3195 if you need clarification or want to know
the cost of a specific notice.

CANDIDATES ■ from front Page
but there are still land owners that live on dirt roads today that
still pay their taxes every year and their roads should be treated
better along with some of these drainage problems.
3rd- Business and Grocery store, our county is so spread
out that the heart of this county cant support a Grocery store.
Which means that you have got to bring not just Mom and
Pop stores here but Business that can attract people to move
here. Now one of the things i love about Crawford County is the
HOMETOWN feeling, thats our Identity, and you can still have
that and attract a couple of businesses that offers permanent
employment with good wages that could attract people to come
and buy a couple of acres here or there and can help support the
Mom and Pop business and Grocery store and I’m not trying to
make Crawford county into an Atlanta, Macon, or Warner Rob
ins cause that would take away our identity that attracts people
here in the first place, that HOMETOWN feeling.
McCowen believes that he brings several things to the table,
first he’ll be a strong voice for the second district, also’T’m a
good people person / good listener / and good problem solver
in which my business experience and knowledge helps. We all
have problems that we need someone to listen to and I’m very
approachable. Anyone can talk to me if they need someone to
talk to about issues they are facing in the community for that’s
what helps me represent them effectively. It gives me the op
portunity to give words of encouragement or words of wisdom
or if there is a problem I can address and find a way to have the
problem taken care of. For that you have to be able to work
with people which I believe that I am real good at that. I have
business knowledge for I have owned or operated different busi
nesses in my life time. I have helped set up a non profit organi
zation , was successfully elected president for seven years, given
the opportunity set up, organized other national non profit
organizations and helped make them profitable. I’ve been a in
dependent contractor for the past 22 years all while still working
in Crawford County and being a register voter since 1987.
What would he like to see changed?
I would like to see the community get more involved and
commissioners get more involved, not to say that they are not
but there can always be more room for improvement. And the
community get more involved in the government and more into
the HOMETOWN feeling like activities in the park besides just
people walking for exercise or a couple of friends catching up.
How about movie in the park and not just cartoons but older
films for the older generation to share with the family. Maybe
story telling from the older generation to the younger genera
tion. Maybe more festivals in the park or family reunions; things
to help support the heartbeat of the county. These are just a few
and I am open to more suggestions.
