Send the request to the office that holds the record

Charlotte County's FOIA policy identifies Rachel A. Napier as the County Administration FOIA officer and says records from other county government offices should be submitted directly to that office.

The page links the county directory for those destinations.

A request may seek inspection, copies or both and should identify existing records with reasonable specificity. A search question asking staff to create an explanation is not necessarily a request for an existing public record.

Ask for an estimate and preserve the written response

The policy says a requester may ask for charges to be estimated in advance and explains that reasonable charges may include actual search, access, duplication and supply costs rather than general overhead. It lists full production, full or partial withholding, nonexistence and a written time-extension notice among possible responses.

A request is not a disclosure guarantee, and this guide does not promise free inspection or a particular response date for every office. Keep the original scope, receipt date, estimate, clarification, production and any cited exemption together under the same request identity.
