Freedom Of Information Act Requests
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is the law that provides access to public records, except for those records protected from disclosure under the Act.
Requests must be in writing. You must describe the records clearly enough for the Records Staff to locate the records. Please include your full name, date of birth, current address, a phone number and an email address so we may contact you to clarify a request if necessary. No specific form is required; however, a link to our FOIA Request Form is provided at the bottom of this page.
You may mail, email, fax or deliver your written request as shown below:

Records has 5 business days after receiving the request to respond. If necessary, Records may issue an extension notice, which allows 10 additional business days to search for the requested information.
Records may charge a fee for providing the records. Charges include the hourly wage, or a portion thereof, of the lowest paid employee capable of performing the search, the costs of copying, and retrieval of on-site and off-site records.
