How South Salt Lake Records Requests Work
The South Salt Lake GRAMA requests page lays out the three ways you can ask for records. First, you can download a PDF form and submit it to the Recorder's Office at 220 E Morris Avenue, Suite 200, South Salt Lake, UT 84115. Second, you can fill out the online Digital GRAMA Request Form. Third, you can submit through the State of Utah Open Records Portal.
Pick the method that works best for you. The online form is the fastest option for most people. Mail-in requests take longer because of delivery time. All three paths lead to the same records office, and all follow the same 10-business-day response window set by state law.
