What are Public Notices?

WisconsinPublicNotices.org offers access 24 hours a day, seven days a week to statewide notices about foreclosures, hearings, advertisements for bids, financial reports, ordinances and other government activities required by law to be published. The public notices that appear on this website are available at no charge and were originally published in Wisconsin newspapers, the trusted source for all community information.

Why Newspapers?

Governments have relied on newspapers to publish public notices since the birth of the nation. Local newspapers remain the most trusted source of public notice information today. Additionally, by publishing notices in newspapers, they remain permanent records that cannot be altered or deleted, and the printed version provides a permanent archive and third-party verification of authenticity. WisconsinPublicNotices.org aggregates the newspaper pages these notices appear on and allows the public to search them via keyword or region — without compromising integrity of the notices.
