Make A Public Records Request
Cabarrus County accepts public records requests online. The automated system contacts staff when an online form is completed. It also provides a confirmation e-mail to the submitter. To make a request in person, contact the County Manager's office. Call 704-920-2100 or visit the Government Center, 65 Church Street S, Suite 235, Concord.
NC General Statutes 132 and 143 gives the public access to view existing public records. Copying fees may apply to offset the cost to the County.
IMPORTANT: Public Records Policy
On September 21, 2026, the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners adopted a formal Public Records Policy that establishes procedures for helping the County reasonably accommodate requests. The policy covers the process, expectations and fees related to certain types of requests.
The policy is consistent with North Carolina’s Public Records Law, which can be found here: https://www.ncleg.gov/Laws/GeneralStatuteSections/Chapter132.
Before you submit your request, please take a few minutes to review the full County policy(PDF, 2MB) .
