You may request
disclosure of public records through the Kitsap
County Public Records Center portal. The Public Records Center allows the requestor to make
public disclosure requests, review and download responsive records and
communicate with the County staff handling your request.
Please be aware that
public disclosure requests for records held by the Kitsap County Sheriff are
made directly to the Sheriff’s office. A link to this option is available in
the Public Records Center. Requests for records held by all other departments
and offices can be made through the “Submit a request to the County” link.
Within five business
days of receipt of the request, the County will either: (1) provide the
record(s); OR (2) deny the request; OR (3) acknowledge the request and provide
a reasonable time estimate for the response. A fee chart is available in the How
Much Does It Cost
link below as well as the Public Records Center FAQs. The most common fees are
$0.10 per page for scanning hard copy records and $0.15 per page for hard copy
reproduction (photocopying or printing).
Pursuant to WAC
44-14-01001, Court records are not subject to this Act. Access to these records
