O'CONNOR, J.

{¶ 1} We are asked to consider whether a municipality, in enforcing its residency requirement for municipal employees, may require that an employee undergoing a residency investigation submit a copy of the employee's income tax returns. We hold that such a request, as part of an informal document request, constitutes an invasion of privacy and is therefore barred.
