Frequently Asked Questions
How to request public records from a local township clerk electronically?
Under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), you can request public records by emailing a written request to the Town Clerk. Your email should include your name, contact information, and a clear, specific description of the records you are seeking. The town will acknowledge your request within five business days and provide an estimate of when the records will be available; while there is no fee to inspect records or receive electronic files the town already has, a fee of $0.25 per page may apply if paper records must be scanned.
What services does a local township clerk typically provide?
The Town Clerk serves as the community's primary record-keeper and licensing agent, handling everything from birth, death, and marriage certificates to dog licenses and hunting and fishing permits.
In addition to managing the town’s official archives and Board meeting minutes, the Clerk’s office processes handicap parking permits and coordinates public Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests.
They essentially act as the central hub for local government information, ensuring that official documents are preserved and accessible to the public.
