May I have a public notice sent to me?

Town ordinance requires that public notice be mailed to owners, as currently listed by the Town Tax Assessor, of all properties located within 200 feet of the proposed projects reviewed by the Staff Review Board and Project Review Board. Public notices are mailed to abutters within 500 feet of proposed subdivisions. The ordinance does not require that abutters be notified when the Board reviews minor requests for Design Review Certificates. Public notices for items being reviewed by the Planning Board are mailed as outlined by the Freeport Zoning Ordinance. 

Due to the high volume of notices sent out within a 24-hour period, it is likely that special requests for notices beyond the legal requirement could be easily overlooked. Consequently, if you would not normally receive a public notice, we encourage you to telephone the Planning Office to determine the status of the project in which you are interested. All agendas are also posted at the Freeport Town Hall, the Freeport Community Library, and on the Town's website.
