Lacey Overview
Lacey City Clerk Phone Directory
The City Clerk in Lacey handles public records requests and serves as the main contact for city documents. Lacey uses a GovQA portal to process requests online. You can submit requests for the city, the Lacey Police Department, and Joint Animal Services all through the same portal. The Lacey Public Records Requests page walks you through the steps.
If you just need a phone number or a quick answer, calling the clerk's office is faster than filing a formal request. Staff can tell you which department keeps the file you need and what it costs. The City Council adopted Resolution 1172, which sets the fee for body-worn camera redaction at $0.90 per minute. Paper copies cost $0.15 per page. Scanned copies are $0.10 per page. Electronic files sent by email cost $0.05 per four files. These fees are in line with RCW 42.56 and the state fee schedule.
The Lacey phone directory for the clerk also covers inspection of records, which is free. You can go to city hall and look at files in person at no cost. You only pay when you want copies.
