Open Records

The Pennsylvania Right-To-Know Law is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of governmental bodies.  Each government agency is assigned an Open Records Officer (ORO) to handle requests.  Public records will be available for inspection and/or copying at the Borough Administration Office during normal business hours, Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with the exception of holidays.

Chalfont Borough Open Records Officer:  Dawn Tremmel

Requests shall be in writing and directed to the Borough’s ORO.  Please use this Standard RTK Law Request Form when submitting your request, and include the date of the request, the name and address of the requester, and a clear description of the records being sought.  Request forms can be emailed to:  RTK@chalfontborough.com
