The retention of official records of City business is governed by the City of San Jose Records Retention Schedule. The Schedule lists categories of records for each City department and indicates how long they are to be retained. The Schedule and revisions to it are approved by the Office of the City Attorney and must be posted on the City’s web site for 30 days before becoming effective. For additional information regarding the City Records Retention Schedule, contact the City Public Records Manager at tom.norris@sanjoseca.gov or (408) 535-8120.
