Mr. Larson,
In response to your request below, if you are seeking the Harrisburg County Clerk, you have misfiled your request. You have contacted the Dauphin County Commissioners Office/ Office of Open Records.

You have a right to appeal this denial of information in writing to the Office of Open Records, 333 Market Street, 16th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17126. If you choose to file an appeal you must do so within 15 business days of the mailing date of the agency's response. Section 1101.
