Payment for Legal Advertisements
Effective immediately, the Salem News requires pre-payment of fees to run legal advertisements.  All Planning Board applications except Form A (Approval Not Required/ANR) require legal advertisements to run twice prior to the hearing.  The Salem News requires a deposit of $500 (an estimate of $250 per ad per day) before they will print a legal ad.  The actual cost will depend on the length of your ad.  At the time you submit your application, you must also submit a signed form (found at the link below) agreeing to pay the difference if the ad costs more than $500, or to accept a partial refund from the newspaper if it costs less.  A $500 check made payable to the Salem News is due upon submittal of your application, along with the signed agreement form, for all Planning Board applications except Form A applications (which do not require newspaper advertisements).
