The City of Knoxville's Public Records Policy establishes procedures for citizens to request access to municipal records, with different submission processes depending on record type: property records go to the Development Services Department, while records from E-911 Dispatch, Fire, Police, and other departments require completion of a Public Records Request Form sent to Communications@KnoxvilleTN.gov. The policy, adopted pursuant to the City Charter and Tennessee Code, mandates that city employees provide timely and efficient access to public records while protecting their integrity and organization, with oversight managed by the Deputy Director of Communications and subject to review every two years.
