Coconut Creek City Clerk Records

The Coconut Creek city clerk takes public records requests for documents held by city departments. This covers city contracts, meeting minutes, permits, code enforcement files, and more. If the city has a record on it, you can ask for a copy. Requests go through the clerk's office and can be made online, by phone, or in person at city hall. The clerk will tell you if there is a fee and how long it will take to fill your request.

When you make a request, keep it as clear as you can. State the type of record, the name of the person or project, and a date range if you know one. Broad requests tend to take longer and can cost more if staff time is needed to sort through a large set of files. The city follows the same rules as every other public agency in Florida. There is no charge to inspect records in person, but copies cost up to 15 cents per page under Chapter 119.

Coconut Creek is a smaller city, so the clerk's office may have a shorter wait time than you would find in a larger city like Fort Lauderdale. Still, it helps to call ahead if you plan to visit. The office may have set hours for walk-in requests.
