Public Records Fee in Utah

Utah's public records fee is governed by Utah Code § 63G-2-203, which establishes the legal framework for what a governmental entity may charge to produce a record. The statute sets out the allowable costs and factors a governmental body must consider when calculating the fee. Because the exact fee depends on the specific request's complexity and the requester's circumstances, the statute provides a formula rather than a single fixed amount. The official source contains the precise factors and any applicable exceptions that determine the final charge. For a step-by-step illustration of how this calculation works, see the worked example below. To estimate the fee for a particular request, use the DocketMath calculator.
