What is the freedom of information law request process?

The process to submit a Freedom of Information Law (F.O.I.L.) request is first fill out a F.O.I.L. Request Form that can be found in the Town Clerk’s Office. Once you have completed the F.O.I.L. Request Form, submit it to the Town Clerk’s Office:

Print and hand deliver to:
Town Clerk’s Office
Tuxedo Town Hall
1 Temple Drive, 1st floor
Tuxedo, NY 10987

The Freedom of Information Law requires that we respond to a request within five (5) business days of receipt of a request. If your request is approved, your request will be sent to the appropriate department for fulfillment. The requested documents will be released to you as soon as possible depending upon the volume of documents requested and time involved locating the material, but it will be within twenty (20) business days from the approval, unless we notify you otherwise. If any portion of the request is denied, you will be informed of the reason in writing and provided with the contact information to whom an appeal should be directed.
