Public Records Requests

Neshannock Township has established a specific procedure by resolution for the release of public records based on the new Right to Know Law established by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Act 3 of 2008.  A copy of the Township's Public Records Request Form is available using the link to the left.  

Requests for records must be addressed to the Right to Know Officer and can be submitted by email, fax, mail, or in person.  The request should be specific and not seek answers to questions. After filing a request, a response will be issued within 5 business days.

Questions regarding this policy should be directed to (724) 658-4972 x 203.

* When completing the form, identification or description of the requested record must be in sufficient detail to enable the Township to ascertain which records are being requested.

Filing an Appeal

When a request is denied or deemed denial, a requester may file an appeal to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records.  The appeal must be filed within 15 business days of the denial or deemed denial date.  The appeal must also include the request, agency denial if one exists, and address agency grounds that the request was denied.  An appeals officer will determine if the record(s) is subject to public access.

An appeal may be filed to the Office of Open Records via its Online Appeal Form, email, fax, or in person at:
