What Is a Public Record?

Arizona Revised Statutes defines records as: “all books, papers, maps, photographs or other documentary materials...made or received by any governmental agency in pursuance of law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by the agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations or other activities of the government, or because of the informational and historical value of data contained in the record, and includes records that are made confidential by statute."

The City Clerk’s Office is committed to the principles of accessible and transparent government. Under the Arizona Public Records Law, our office provides the public with access to existing public records by request.
