Access to Records

The public's right to access information related to the conduct of business in San Leandro is a fundamental right. Records shall not be held from disclosure unless it is exempt under applicable laws, or unless the public interest served by not making the record available outweighs the public interest served by disclosing the record.

This page serves to assist members of the public access San Leandro Public Records under the California Public Records Act.

Requesting Records

The City of San Leandro maintains a large number of records that are accessible by the public, some in hard copy and some in electronic format. Records can be requested in writing, via fax, via USPS, or verbally. While a written request for records is not mandatory, we suggest you submit your request in writing to avoid confusion and ensure accuracy of what records you are requesting. Please use our Public Records Request Portal to submit your request.
