Legal ads are items where publication is required by law.  They include things such as tax sales, trustee’s sales and foreclosures, name change petitions, guardianships, and estate settlements.  Legals are generally submitted by attorneys or government agencies.   They are billed at the state-prescribed rate of 11.5 cents per word on the initial publication, and 75% of that rate for repeat runs.  A billing adjustment is also made for charts or graphics, which require more space than simple test.

A notarized Certificate of Publication is created for all legal advertising, and provided to the customer at the time of billing.

If you have not been instructed by some government entity or attorney that you must publish your text, then your submission is most likely not a legal ad.
