DURHAM COUNTY · PUBLIC-RECORDS TRANSPARENCY GRADE
B
17/24
Durham County gets a B.
North Carolina Public Records Law has no statutory deadline — agencies must respond as 'promptly as possible' with no enforceable clock. Booking photos public default. eCourts e-filing rolling out county by county; not yet statewide.
Note: Statewide grade applies — no separate local grade yet computed for Durham County.
