HOW TO MAKE A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST

In Sumner County, access to public records are governed by the Sumner County Public Records Request Policy and the Tennessee Public Records Act.

WHO DO I CONTACT TO MAKE A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST?

All public records requests for inspections and/or copies of records must be made to the Public Records Request Coordinator or the Department's Records Custodians (listed below). Requests for copies must be made in writing using the Public Records Request Form or requests can be e-mailed to ben@sumnercountytn.gov.
