Essential information to collect from the requester Nature of the document: Describe the document type, exact text to be posted if applicable, and whether it must remain posted for a specified period. Authority for posting: Note whether posting is pursuant to a court order, statutory procedure, lease provision, contract clause, or private notice. Request a copy of the controlling order, statute, or contract. Deadline and timing: Provide the latest date and any required window (business days, after service attempts, or specific hours). Indicate if timeframe is absolute or flexible. Recipient and parties: Full names and roles (occupant, owner, agent), alternate names or aliases, and any known occupants at the property. Known addresses and access points: Provide the physical address for posting, unit or lot identifiers, and any secondary delivery or mailing addresses. Note whether the mailing ZIP 43004 is the administrative ZIP and whether USPS verification is needed for delivery. On-site conditions and logistics Property type and access: Indicate whether the location is a single-family residence, multi-unit building, commercial property, vacant lot, or fenced parcel. Note gated entries, security, or posted warnings. Best approach for posting: Describe preferred posting location (main entrance, front door, gate, mailbox) and whether a photograph of the posted document is required as evidence. Safety and visibility concerns: Advise on lighting, parking, or neighborhood conditions that could affect staff safety or the ability to post clearly. Documentation and proof requirements Proof of posting: Specify whether an affidavit, signed statement, timestamped photos, or GPS coordinates are needed. Indicate any notarial or sworn elements required by the requester. Chain of custody: If the document must be preserved after posting, instruct how and where it should be left and whether it must be retrieved or turned in to the requester. Legal scope, availability, and refusal criteria Review the request for lawful scope: Confirm the requested posting is within lawful limits for the involved parties and consistent with the provided authority. Clarify that acceptance of a posting request depends on applicable law, accessibility, and operational safety. Refusal or modification: Describe conditions under which a posting may be declined or require modification: unsafe conditions, inability to verify authority, lack of lawful authority to post, or conflicts with municipal rules. Requesters should be prepared to provide additional documentation or to authorize alternative service methods.
