Public Records Request

2. ATTENTION: Please DO NOT use this form for POLICE records requests. Use the POLICE RECORDS REQUEST FORM instead.
4. In compliance with Ohio Revised Code § 149.43, the City of Shaker Heights allows for prompt inspection of its public records or provides copies of its public records within a reasonable period of time. See the City's complete Public Records Policy.
   
   Requests for public records are not required to be in writing. You may call, email, come in person, write a letter and send it through regular mail, or fill out this form. Please note: A written description of the specific record requested makes it easier to produce the correct record and ultimately saves time for the requester.
   
   Before making your request, please take a moment to review the Public Records Request page and also check if the records are already available on this website (use the search box in the upper right-hand corner).
