Open Desk

Open Desk for Pennsylvania agencies

Five business days.
Every time.

The request desk for borough and township offices and the solicitors who advise them. Log a Right-to-Know request once. Open Desk counts the days, drafts the letter, and keeps the log.

The first look is a conversation, not a checkout. Open Desk does not take payment on this site.

The work

Three duties, done without the binder.

01

The five day clock, kept for you

Every request is dated on receipt and counted in business days, with Commonwealth holidays already on the calendar. Extensions, interim responses, and deemed denial dates are computed the moment you log them.

02

Letters in the statute's own form

Grant, partial grant, denial, and 30-day extension letters are drafted with the citations your solicitor expects, ready to sign on letterhead. The officer decides. The software does not pick exemptions.

03

A log the OOR will recognize

Every request, response, and appeal lands in one ledger you can export for council, an auditor, or the Office of Open Records.

Fees

One line in the budget.

Save about 10% when you pay annually.

The price for the year is listed first. Paying each month costs about 10% more. Every person at the agency is included.

Agency prices by how many requests the agency handles in a year. The year price comes before the month price.
Requests a yearA yearA month
Up to 24$500 a year$46 a month
25 to 49$800 a year$73 a month
50 to 99$1,200 a year$110 a month

For the solicitor

One retainer for every client agency.

$2,500 a year for up to 5 agencies. Each additional agency is $400 a year. Paid monthly, that is $229 a month, or $37 a month for each additional agency.

A solicitor's own login is free on any agency that pays for itself.

The agency still owns its data. You cannot buy a plan on this page. Book a 20-minute demo below.
