Enhancing Public Transparency in New Brunswick



NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ (February 27, 2026) - Effective March 1, New Brunswick is modernizing how it shares information with you.

In accordance with the recently enacted state law, P.L. 2025, c.72, all official legal notices will now be hosted directly on the City's official website.

The 2025 law recognizes that most residents now receive their news online. By moving legal notices from print newspapers to official municipal websites, the law aims to increase accessibility and reduce the costs of print advertising.

This digital-first model ensures that every resident has free, 24/7 access to the inner workings of our City government.

You can obtain or view the complete text of each legal notice, including those for all City Boards and Commissions, at a dedicated portal: cityofnewbrunswick.org/publicnotices.

Public notices are a fundamental part of a transparent democracy. They serve as an official heads-up to the community regarding government actions. These notices include:

  • Meeting Schedules: Dates and times for City Council, Planning Board, and Zoning Board meetings, which you can find on the community calendar here.
  • Public Hearings: Opportunities for residents to speak on proposed ordinances or city projects.
  • Financial Disclosures: Summaries of the municipal budget and annual audits.
  • Bids and Contracts: Requests for proposals (RFPs) for city improvements and services.
  • Elections: Information regarding upcoming local elections and polling details.
