How records requests work
Within 5 business days of receiving your request, we will:
- Acknowledge your request

- Provide the requested records, or
- Deny all or part of the request, or redact part of the information, telling you why we can't disclose it
How to request records
Include a detailed description of the records you want and your contact information. Use the following examples of how to word your request. For example, if you filed a complaint with the Office of the Ombuds, the request might look like this:
- Provide the complete case file in Ombuds Case # [number].
- Provide all correspondence between the Ombuds Office and the Department of Permitting and Environmental Review about Permit # [number]. It concerns an application to clear and grade part of my property, located at [address].
