Clerk's Office FAQ

Florida Government-in-the-Sunshine law provides a right of access to governmental proceedings and documents. Florida law does not require anyone to place a public records request in writing.  However, if you would like to do so, please make your public record request by calling the Town of Cutler Bay, Office of Town Clerk at 305-234-4262 or emailing townclerk@cutlerbay-fl.gov 

Charges as allowed by Florida Statute Chapter 119 are applicable.  The Town is also authorized to charge and collect a special service charge for the staff costs associated with conducting the search for records that would require extensive use of clerical and/or technology staff time.  The Town uses more than 15 minutes as the trigger for assertion of this charge.  If the records request requires extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance by the Town staff, the Town may charge in addition to the actual cost of duplication, a special service charge which is based on the cost incurred for the extensive use of information technology resources or the labor cost of the personnel providing the service.
