Public Records Requests
The City Manager designated the City Clerk as the City’s Public Records Officer pursuant to the Washington State Public Records Act (PRA) Chapter 42.56 RCW.
The public records officer oversees compliance with the PRA; however, other City staff members may process a request. When the public records officer or designee receives a public records request, they will:
- Provide the fullest assistance possible to requesters;
- Ensure that public records are protected from damage or disorganization; and
- Respond promptly to all public records requests per RCW 42.56.520.
REQUEST GENERAL RECORDS (including Animal Control Records)
Requests for public records may be completed using the online Public Records Request Portal, powered by GovQA.
Prior to submitting your request, please see if you may have access to records as a matter of right (Police, Fire/EMS), in which you may request request directly from Pasco Police Department or Pasco Fire Department.
If you are seeking Municipal Court Records, which are outside of the Public Records Act, please request records directly from Pasco Municipal Court.
