FOIA & public records requests

Learn how to request public records from the City of Linden and what to expect after you send your request.

What is FOIA?

Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act gives everyone the right to request public records held by the City. Requests can be sent in writing by mail or email.

Under the Act, the City must respond to your request within five business days of receiving it. In some cases the City may extend that time by up to ten business days, and it will tell you in writing if it does.

How to submit a request

Send your written request to the City Clerk by mail or email. You can also ask for a request form at City Hall.
