Hannah, sorry this response is late. I was in a retreat all day Friday and am just catching up on emails. There’s no
requirement that the addresses be supplied by an abstract company. I assume that’s the way your department has
always done it. I don’t care if you pull the addresses for them or not as long as the information is accurate. But I’d clear it
w/ Jamie first; I know my boss is very reluctant to have us take on additional duties. Once the precedent is set, everyone
will expect it of you. Handle however you think best. I appreciate the question, Sherri

Good morning Sherri,
I meet with the Central High Neighborhood Association last night and they had a question about alternatives to using an
abstract company to provide the public notice addresses. This is often costly for applicants, ($300-$1,000) so I
understand where the question is coming from. I’m looking at our ordinance and by-laws and I’m not seeing where it
says the addresses have to be provided by a licensed abstractor. The only place it is stated as a requirement is in the
COA application. Is the requirement of addresses for public notices to be provided by a licensed abstractor something
we can rethink? Perhaps we (I) can pull the addresses for the applicant?
Thanks,
