A request for public records must be accompanied by sufficient funds to defray the actual cost of searching, reviewing, copying and, if applicable, mailing the requested records. MDMR staff will notify requester of an estimate of costs to fulfill the request and said estimate will be due upon notice. Failure to submit estimated defrayal costs will render the request incomplete and staff will notify requester of denial of request. The processing of the request will resume upon receipt by MDMR of payment of the cost estimate.
