COVID-19 Coronavirus Updates and Guidance
The County is taking a number of actions to keep residents safe and minimize the spread of COVID-19. Find status information for County operations and services.
Public Information Act Requests
The Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA) ensures that citizens have access to information about the affairs of government and the official acts of public officials and employees. The MPIA provides that a “custodian” of a record shall allow a person to inspect any public record at any reasonable time. The law provides for a number of exceptions (reasons why the custodian must or may deny a public record), contains provisions for fees that may be charged to a person requesting a public record and states the time within which the custodian must provide the public records.
In accordance with the law, Baltimore County has also adopted PIA regulations (PDF).
PIA Contacts
In order to inspect a public record, you must submit a written application to the custodian of the public record or the representative of the agency. Following are the custodians of public records or the representatives of agencies of the Baltimore County General Government and selected associated agencies.
