Can public record requests be filed anonymously?

You may file a public records request anonymously and our response will be publicly viewable. If at all possible, please provide an email address. An email address greatly assists us in communicating effectively with an anonymous requester (clarification of request, time frame, potential cost, etc.). Without an email address, anonymous requesters can watch their request on this portal but cannot reply to questions without calling or writing to the Town Clerk's Office. Many anonymous requesters create a free email address that continues to keep their identity anonymous but allows easy and direct communication about their request. Just something for you to consider.
