The Montgomery County Office of Animal Services provides access to its public records in accordance with the Maryland Public Information Act (Annotated Code of Maryland, General Provisions, Title 4 of the State Government Article). The MPIA grants the people of this State a broad right of access to public records while protecting legitimate governmental interests and the privacy rights of individual citizens.

1. The 10 days to refer an applicant to the correct custodian, if known 2. The 30 days to respond to an MPIA request 3. The 10 days to send the "10-day letter" to an applicant 4. The 10 days to file an action in court to support a temporary denial.
