The Open Records Request portal provides citizens a way to request public records while enabling Augusta to demonstrate a high degree of transparency  as it meets its obligations to the public and the Georgia Open Records  Act. Augusta, Georgia has also designated an Open Records Officer to implement the web-based system and to manage Augusta’s open records request process.

“Augusta is committed to being transparent with the community, and this new online system is helping us provide the public with the information they need more efficiently than ever before,” said Augusta, Georgia’s Interim Administrator Takiyah A. Douse.
