How can I submit a public record request?

The purpose of the California Public Records Act is to provide the public access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

Upon receiving a request for records that reasonably describes an identifiable record or records, County staff will respond within 10 calendar days with a determination of whether or not it has responsive records. Under certain circumstances, the County can extend the time for determination up to 14 calendar days.

If the due date falls on a holiday, Saturday, or Sunday, the response is due on the following business day.
