Since 1967, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has provided the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. It is often described as the law that keeps citizens in the know about their government. Federal agencies are required to disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless it falls under one of nine exemptions which protect interests such as personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement.

In accordance with state law, the City of Greer provides the public with access to its public records and documents in an accurate, timely and professional manner.

Please note that the law stipulates that any information provided must not be used to contact any person directly for the purpose of commercial solicitation and the City reserves the right to request the purpose for any information sought.

All requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act should be submitted through the City of Greer Public Records Center. If this is your first online Public Records Request, you are encouraged to create an account, giving you the ability to track and monitor your public records request.

Please be as specific as possible about what you are requesting. The system will route your request directly to the department responsible for the information you are seeking.

For requests requiring significant employee resources, the City of Greer may charge reasonable costs for providing documents or information and may not release information until payment in full is received.  Fees are subject to change and may be waived or reduced if it is determined that the waiver or reduction is primarily to benefit the general public.
