Request to Protect Information
The home address and telephone number of a criminal justice official/employee is confidential and cannot be released (N.D.C.C. Section 44-04-18.3). The 2021 legislature expanded the list of individuals whose information is protected. However, effective August 1, 2021, even if the address and phone are protected, the property information in GIS systems, property tax records and tax parcel data systems is not protected unless the criminal justice official/employee makes a written request to protect that information from release, which request must be submitted annually to the proper county office and (if applicable) city office.
- Request to Protect Information
- File it with the County Recorder’s office in your county of residence. The county recorder will route your request to any other applicable county offices. If you reside in a city that releases or publishes tax or GIS information, you must also submit this request to the city tax department in your city of residence.
