Public Records Fee in New Hampshire

In New Hampshire, the public records fee is governed by RSA 91-A:4, which establishes the legal framework for charges associated with accessing government records. The statute authorizes agencies to impose fees for the actual cost of providing copies, including labor, materials, and any other direct expenses reasonably incurred. The specific calculation method, including allowable costs and any caps, is set out in the statute itself. Because the rule includes detailed factors and potential exceptions, the exact fee depends on the nature of the request and the records involved. The worked example below illustrates how the fee is computed under the statute, and the official source at the linked statute provides the complete criteria.
