Alert Me

Alert Me is a subscription service that sends email alerts when taxing units have set the dates for public hearings and adoption meetings for proposed local government budgets for the coming year. Those dates are typically set during the summer months. Budget notices must be submitted at least 10 days before the public hearing.

How It Works
Sign-up for alerts by checking the Alert Me box next to each taxing unit in the selected taxing district (using the Search by Address feature) or next to each taxing unit shown (using Search by County).

In the upper right hand corner of your screen you will always have the option to enter and save your email address. Once you have checked one or more Alert Me boxes, click on Save Subscriptions.

OR, you can just check at least one “Alert Me” box, which will prompt you for your email address.

Example of the Welcome to Budget Notices login screen in the upper righthand corner of the page. The image shows the field to type your email and a link that reads Save Email. Below that is text that reads Sign up for Budget Alerts Here and a button that reads Save Subscription used when the Alert Me feature is changed.
Example of editing your email if you select Alert Me before your email and Save Email is selected. Text reads Please enter your Email address, with OK and Cancel buttons.

After that, you will receive a confirmation email. Once the units you chose have set their public hearing and adoption meeting dates, you will receive an email alert with the dates and a link to the budget notice for that unit. You will also receive email alerts when units modify their budget notices after their initial submissions.

You will also receive information on how to manage your email alerts and have the opportunity, through those emails, to unsubscribe to the Alert Me service at any time.
