What counts as a public record in Connecticut is spelled out in CGS §1-200. The law covers any recorded data or information made or received by a government body in connection with public business. This is a broad definition and it means that a large share of the records Farmington creates or collects are available to anyone who asks. The clerk can tell you exactly what is on hand and walk you through the request process, including any fees.
The Farmington phone directory is built around this kind of public access. Most numbers on this page connect to offices that either hold records or can direct you to the right place. It is a system designed to be open, and the phone lines are part of that.
