Requesting Records Under Indiana's APRA
Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3-1 and IC 5-14-3-3, gives residents the right to inspect or copy most public records. Boone County offices must respond to verbal requests within 24 hours and written requests within seven days. You don't need a specific reason to request a record, and no special form is required. Just contact the right office for the type of record you need.
If a Boone County agency denies your request, they must state the legal basis. For disputes, guidance, or complaints, contact the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac. Reach the PAC by phone at 317-234-0906 or by email at pac@opac.in.gov. This is a free advisory service available to anyone seeking Indiana public records.
