INFORMATION FOR GOVERNMENTAL BODIES AND
INDIVIDUALS USING THE lEGAL NOTICES
SECTION OF THE PRIOR LAKE AMERICAN
Deadlines:
Notices to be published must be received in the office of the Prior Lake American by 5 p.m. on
the Wednesday preceding each publication date. This deadline must be observed to ensure
accurate and timely publication of important notices.
Affidavits:
One sworn affidavit of publication will be provided, upon request, without charge for each legal
notice. Additional affidavits are available at $3.50 each. Additional clippings are available for
$1.00 each.
Late Fee:
Urgent legal notices which do not arrive at the Prior Lake American office before the specified
deadline may be accepted, at the publisher's discretion, but will have a late fee or surcharge of
25 percent added for special handling.
Publication Requirements:
Most specifications for legal notice publication, including the number of times a notice is to run,
are set forth by statute. Interpretation of the statutes is the responsibility of the customer and its
legal counsel, not the publisher. Guidelines for governmental bodies, prepared by the Minnesota
Newspaper Association, are available upon request.
Kill Fee:
Publication of scheduled notices may be stopped, depending on how far the printing process has
advanced. If a legal notice is killed before the initial publication date, the customer may still be liable
for a special typesetting fee, not to exceed 30 percent of the cost of the published notice. The
customer must pay on a pro data basis, for that part of a series of publications that have been
completed before interruption by the customer.
Errors:
Publisher assumes no responsibility for errors in typesetting or scheduling of legal notices. In all
cases, publisher's liability shall be limited to a "make good" of a defective notice if it can be
demonstrated that the error was made by the publisher and that as a result of the error the legal
notice was rendered invalid.
Rates:
Effective January 1, 1985, the Minnesota State Legislature authorized legal newspapers to charge
for legal notices in the same manner in which they charge their best commercial display classified
customers. That means that legal notices are billed by the column inch, not by the "legal line. " The
law also restricts rate increases exceeding 10 percent per annum.

Lowest classified rate paid by commercial users .................................... $9.44 per column inch
