The Georgia Open Records Act and related subtitles of Georgia law authorize a personal inspection of public records at a reasonable time and place unless prohibited by a court order or otherwise exempted by law. However, no public official or personnel is required to prepare reports, summaries or compilations not in existence at the time of an Open Records Request.
The DeKalb County Board of Health has designated the following staff members as official open records custodians, as allowed by O.C.G.A. §50-18-71. Please direct requests for records to the designated contact. If assistance is needed in determining the appropriate contact, please email a custodian (see below) or call (404) 294-3700 for assistance.
