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.
