Frequently Asked Questions

For more information regarding public records requests, please contact:

Mayra Salamanca

There is no charge to review public records at the municipal facility where they are stored. However, there is a fee for photocopies, audio CDs, videos, photos, and other items. Visit the City's Fee Schedule.

Payment is due when the items are received. The City of Casa Grande accepts payments in form of cash, check, money order, debit, and credit cards (Visa/MasterCard only).

As a rule, the City of Casa Grande responds to all requests for information as quickly as possible. However, it may not always be possible to fill requests for public records right away because records need to be reviewed first to see if they contain confidential information. Despite this, the City of Casa Grande strives to respond to public records requests within 5 working days. However, if the request is very large in scope, spans multiple departments or requires additional preparation or review, it may require more time to process. If so, it will take more than 5 days.

Although most information the City of Casa Grande maintains is public and therefore subject to disclosure, some information is considered to be confidential. As custodians of confidential information, the City of Casa Grande is obligated to protect such things as:

• Social security numbers
• Dates of birth
• The identity of undercover police officers
• Medical records

Additional information may be considered confidential and protected from disclosure depending upon the specific information requested and the circumstances surrounding the request.

A Public Records Request Form aids the employee and the requestor by clarifying precisely what information is being requested, as well as documenting what the requestor inspected or received from the City in return.
