The written request must be filed with the clerk of the qualified local governmental unit.

(3) Before adopting a resolution establishing a district, the legislative body shall give written notice by certified mail to the legislative body of each taxing unit that levies ad valorem property taxes in the proposed district and the owners of all real property in the proposed district and shall set a public hearing on the establishment of the district at which any of those owners, taxing units, and any other resident or taxpayer of the qualified local governmental unit may appear and be heard. The legislative body shall give public notice of the hearing not less than 10 days or more than 30 days before the date of the hearing. Public notice under this subsection must be provided by online posting on the qualified local governmental unit's website if online posting is available and by physical posting in a location open to the public in the office of the qualified local governmental unit.
