§ 103E.041 — Personal Service in Lieu of Other Methods of Notice

Plain-Language Summary

This section allows personal service (hand-delivering a notice directly to a person) to be used instead of other methods of giving notice, such as mailing or publishing in a newspaper. Personal service can be used for any notice required under the drainage law.

Practical Notes
Personal service provides proof that a person actually received the notice, which can be important if there is a dispute later about whether proper notice was given. If you are served personally with a drainage notice, you cannot later claim you did not know about the proceeding.
