Public Records Fee in Kentucky

Kentucky’s public records fee is governed by KRS 61.872, which sets the rules for what an agency may charge when a requester seeks to inspect or obtain copies of public records. The statute establishes the legal framework for calculating fees, including any applicable copying or processing costs. Because the precise amount depends on the specific records requested and the agency’s policies, the formula is not a fixed dollar figure but rather a calculation based on the statute’s provisions. The official source linked below contains the exact language of KRS 61.872, including any factors or exceptions that apply.
