Public Records Portal
Welcome to the City of Keene Public Records Request site. The City of Keene is committed to transparency and providing access to public records. For your convenience, the City has compiled a list of commonly requested records so they are available online. A variety of records can be found on our Public Records Online Search page.
If you are unable to find the record you seek online, you may submit a Right-To-Know Request through our online portal. Please note, factors such as staff availability, the volume, type, and storage location of the records requested, and the number of other pending requests may impact the amount of time it will take to respond to your request. We encourage you to investigate online records resources prior to submitting a formal records request. If you have questions about requesting governmental records, please review our Records FAQs.
The City is not required to create a record that does not exist, or compile data to create a record in a specific format requested, including electronic format; however, it may be easier to create an electronic summary or other report from a database than it would be to copy large volumes to satisfy specific record requests, and may also be necessary to maintain confidentiality.
Although the City of Keene is not required to respond to requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which applies only to Federal Governmental Agencies, requests cited under this Federal law shall be treated as a right to know request and shall be forwarded to the Office of the City Clerk for processing.
