Under Chapter 342 regarding sanitation, what alternative method can municipalities use to notify property owners of violations if personal service is not possible?

In situations where personal service to notify property owners of violations is not feasible, municipalities are permitted to utilize public posting as an alternative method of notification. Public posting involves displaying a notice at a prominent location, which ensures that the information reaches not only the individuals directly involved but also the community at large. This method is particularly useful in cases where property owners may be difficult to contact directly, thus ensuring compliance with sanitation regulations while maintaining transparency and accountability within the community.

While options like phone notification, mail notification, and legal advertisement may be useful for other circumstances, they do not specifically fulfill the requirement for an alternative method of notification as established in Chapter 342 for situations where personal service is impractical. Public posting serves as a broad approach that can efficiently address the need for notification when regular methods are not available.
