Unless the agency sets a lower fee, or there is a state law or rule setting a different fee, paper copies of records cost $.75 a page for the first 10 pages; $.50 cents per copy for the next 10, and $.25 per copy over 20 pages. Requests that require extraordinary effort to fulfill may be subject to an additional charge that covers the public agency's costs of fulfilling the request.

Requesters can ask for records in a specific format (e.g., paper copy, computer disk, tape). If the format is not used by the agency, the requester will be charged a reasonable amount for the agency's cost to put the record into that format. The custodian must advise requesters of such a fee in advance of fulfilling the request.
