The Patriot is pleased to announce that we’ve been named the official 2021 Sherburne County  legal newspaper.

The nomination came from County Commissioner Tim Dolan and was unanimously approved by all board members at Tuesday morning’s meeting. The Patriot was bidding for the services with the Star News out of Elk River.

The Patriot, which serves the communities of Becker, Big Lake, Clear Lake and Clearwater (and surrounding communities) and delivers to over 16,000 businesses and homes in the county, commenced publication in July of 2020 after assuming the previous newspaper, The Citizen-Tribune.

The Patriot will publish official commissioner proceedings, first and second delinquent tax lists and the county financial statements.
