Altamonte Springs adopts digital public‑notice option; official says statutory owner notices will remain
Summary
Ordinance No. 1843‑26 was adopted on second and final reading to allow a publicly accessible website for legal advertisements and public notices; City Manager Frank Martz said statutory notice requirements for affected property owners remain unchanged and noted cost savings from the transition.
The Commission adopted Ordinance No. 1843‑26 to permit use of a publicly accessible website for legal advertisements and public notices. During the public hearing Dominique Douglas asked whether newspaper notification options would remain available for individuals who prefer not to use digital services. City Manager Frank Martz responded that the City is transitioning to digital processes in accordance with State law, cited associated cost savings, and clarified that statutory notice requirements for affected property owners related to land use and zoning matters remain unchanged.
Mayor Bates closed the public hearing and City Attorney Mary Sneed read the ordinance title before the Commission voted to pass and adopt the measure on second and final reading by unanimous roll call. The change establishes the City’s ability to use a web‑based notice mechanism while retaining legally required owner notification steps under state statutes.
