Records Request

GRAMA Requests

The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) is the records law for the State of Utah. GRAMA defines what a record is and establishes the criteria for accessing government records.

Tips on submitting requests

Be as specific as possible with the types of records that you are requesting. When submitting a request please be specific and include things like:

  • Subject
  • Dates 
  • Names
  • Addresses
  • Type(s) of Records
  • Incident Reports - Please list the date, time, location, and call # (if known) of the incident

Fees

  • STAFF TIME (includes time required to search, compile and otherwise prepare to provide a record).
  • If a charge is imposed, the first 15 minutes of research and response is provided to the requestor without charge. If research, manipulation, or preparation of information such as redaction, pixilation, and/or scan time is required, an hourly charge of $35.00 may be assessed if the task takes longer than 15 minutes.

Fee Waivers

  • In some instances, fees may be waived. GRAMA encourages waiving the fee when the request benefits the public rather than a specific individual. GRAMA also encourages the waiver of fees if the requestor is the individual who is the subject of the record - or the guardian.  A person who believes that there has been an unreasonable denial of a fee waiver may appeal the denial.
  • If a requestor has not properly paid for previously requested materials, NTFD will hold the current request until the outstanding payment is paid in full for previous requests.
