Data Practices

The Government Data Practices Act (Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13) presumes that all government data is public unless a state or federal law says the data is not public. Government data is a term that means all recorded information a government entity has, including paper, email, DVDs, photographs, etc. The Government Data Practices Act also provides Hubbard County must keep all government data in a way that makes it easy for you, as a member of the public, to access public data. You have the right to look at (inspect), free of charge, all public data that we keep. You also have the right to get copies of public data. The Government Data Practices Act allows us to charge for copies. You have the right to look at data, free of charge, before deciding to request copies. This page provides Hubbard County's written policy on how to access data and data on subjects along with a copy of Hubbard County's 2016 Inventory of Not Public Data on Individuals.
