What to know
"Adequate notice" is 48 hours. Minutes must be promptly available. Since March 2026, legal notices may be posted on an official website instead of a newspaper.
Local charters, ordinances and board bylaws often require more notice than state law. When they do, follow the stricter rule — in CivicPorch you can set a board's own notice period and reminders use it.
Work out a deadline
This is general information, not legal advice. Statutes have exceptions (emergencies, recessed meetings, holidays) — check with your solicitor or municipal attorney when in doubt.
