Where to find Bowling Green and Warren County public notices: city ordinances, hearings, bids, zoning cases and tax sales. An index, not the official publication.
Last checked Oct. 12, 2026. This page is an index, not the official publication of any notice.

Links go to the City of Bowling Green, the City-County Planning Commission, the Warren County Clerk and the Kentucky Press Association.
Public notices tell you what your local governments are about to do or have just done: new ordinances, tax rates, rezonings, bids, budget hearings and tax sales. This index points you to where Bowling Green and Warren County notices are posted, and lists the recent ones we found.
