What are Iberville Parish Public Records?
The Louisiana Public Records Act defines public records as information used, prepared, or retained by a public agency for official business. Iberville Parish public records are available to members of the general public regardless of physical characteristics, form, method of creation, or storage. Records may be books, writings, letters, maps, drawings, photographs, electronic data, tapes, audio and video recordings, memoranda, papers, and all copies or duplicates. However, some records retained by government agencies may be unavailable to the public if exempted by statute or sealed by court order. Exempted records include:
- Documents or records containing trade secrets or proprietary information
- Documents containing information about security procedures, investigative techniques, or a government agency’s internal security information
- Blueprints and floor plans of public buildings such as public schools, airports, police stations, or other public facilities
- Investigative records held by the police, district attorney, attorney general, or other public bodies about pending criminal litigation
- Social security numbers of public school teachers
- Documents containing a public agency’s security procedures, investigative techniques, and internal security information
In addition to government agencies, county public records can also be obtained from third-party websites. These non-government platforms come with intuitive tools that allow for expansive searches. Record seekers may either opt to use these tools to search for a specific record or multiple records. Users can search third-party websites remotely for multiple records at a time with just the name of the record subject and their last known location including the city, county, or state. Third-party sites are not sponsored by government agencies. Because of this record availability and results may vary.
