§ 156.079 GIVING OF NOTICE.
   For the purpose of giving mailed notice, the City Zoning Officer may use current tax or assessment records, or any other appropriate records to determine the names and addresses of owners. The City Zoning Officer may require, as a part of any application for which mailed notice must be given, that the applicant list the name and address of the affected property owners. A copy of the notice and a list of the owners and addresses to which the notice was sent shall be attested to by the Clerk/Treasurer and shall be made a part of the records of the proceedings, with a copy of any published notice given. The failure to give mailed notice to individual property owners, or defects in the notice, shall not invalidate the proceedings, provided that a bona fide attempt to give notice has been made.
