Home › Glossary › Public records request
A formal request (state sunshine laws; Florida's is Chapter 119) for records a government holds.
Where a jurisdiction publishes no permit feed, a public-records request for a recurring export of issued permits is the legitimate route to one — the LienToDeed playbook, and the one PermitBoards uses for Palm Beach County. It is slower than an API and it respects the jurisdiction's terms, which is the point.
