Classified Ads

Career opportunity ads, legal notices and items for sale are available in our classified ad section. Career ads are from municipalities and private firms who would like to hire employees with local government experience. The charge for a classified ad is $2 per line with approximately 7 words per line. (A 200-word document for example would be about $57.) We also offer online-only ads that cost $2.50 per line. These ads DO NOT go in our print publications. Advertisers are billed at the end of each month. We also post classifieds ads on the NCLM website. Email or call Hope Moore at (919) 715-2903 for information related to classified ads.
