Fees for Public RecordsPer OAR 830-020-0050, the Board may charge a fee reasonably calculated to reimburse the agency for costs of providing and conveying copies of public records. All fees and charges must be paid before public records will be available for inspection or copies provided.
The Board may furnish copies of public information without charge or at a substantially reduced fee if the Board determines that the waiver or reduction of fees is in the public interest because making the record available primarily benefits the general public, per ORS 192.440(4). The person requesting the public records must request a waiver or reduction of fees and must explain why allowing the waiver or reduction is in the public interest.
