How to File a GRAMA Request in Farmington
Filing a records request in Farmington follows the same steps as the rest of Utah. Write a request that says what records you want. Send it to the Farmington City Recorder or the relevant department. You do not have to say why you want the records. The city has 10 business days to respond.
If the city denies your request, they must explain which part of the GRAMA law applies. You can appeal within 30 days. The appeal goes to the chief administrative officer first, then to the State Records Committee if needed. Most routine requests for police reports or public documents get approved without trouble. Requests that touch on private or protected information may be denied in part or in full.
Fees depend on the size of the request. Small requests with a few pages of documents are usually free or close to it. Larger requests that take staff time to pull together will cost more. Ask for an estimate before the city starts work on a big request. That way you know the cost up front and can narrow the scope if needed.
