Delaware's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) guarantees citizens access to government meetings and public records. As a public body, Sussex County is bound by the FOIA requirements set forth in 29 Del. C. Chapter 100, as well as the County's adopted FOIA policy.
Most requests for information are routine and do not require a formal FOIA submission. Please review our website first to see if the information is already posted online, or contact the office in question to determine whether the information is readily available.
For more complex or detailed queries, a formal FOIA may be necessary. Please note, one submission is generally sufficient for requests that may span multiple County departments.
Requests can be submitted to Sussex County in any of the following ways:

Sussex County takes very seriously the public's right to know, and has taken numerous steps in recent years to ensure improved public access by posting to the County web site important information such as government agendas, minutes, budgets and other records.
Citizens requiring information not found on the County web site can submit their request to the County's designated FOIA coordinator. The coordinator is charged with directing the request to the department or office that has custody of the records in question.
For questions regarding FOIA, contact County Administration at (302) 855-7742 or submit via our webform .
