Public Records:

Florida has a very broad public records law. Written communications to or from Okeechobee County officials, employees, and agents regarding state or local business are public records available to the public and media upon request, unless exempt from disclosure under one of the limited exceptions provided in the Florida Statutes. Your email address and email communications may therefore be subject to public disclosure. If you do not want your email address and email communications released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact Okeechobee County by phone or in person.
