Public Records Fee in North Carolina

North Carolina’s public records fee is governed by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 132-6.2, which sets the cost for providing copies of public records. The statute establishes a specific rate for retrieval and production, but the exact amount depends on factors outlined in the law. The official source at the North Carolina General Assembly website contains the precise formula and any applicable exceptions. Because the calculation can vary based on the nature of the request and the records involved, the statute provides the framework rather than a single fixed figure. The worked example below illustrates how the fee is computed under this statute. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your own specific fee based on your request parameters.
