Orange County Public Records Requests

Orange County has a public records system that handles requests through several channels. The Orange County public records page walks you through the full process and lists your options for submitting a request.

You can reach the public records coordinator at (407) 836-5400. Email requests go to publicrecords@ocfl.net. Mail goes to P.O. Box 1393, Orlando, FL 32802. The county accepts requests by phone too, but written requests work best for anything that may take time to pull together. Under Florida's public records law, any person has the right to inspect or copy public records made or received by any government body in the state. That is a direct rule from Chapter 119. Orange County follows it. The first 30 minutes of staff time for gathering records is free. After that, labor charges may apply at the employee's hourly rate. Copies run up to 15 cents per one-sided page.

Be as specific as you can when you submit a request. Include names, dates, and department names if possible.
