Records & Elections Copy Requests & Fees
Request a Record Copy
Do you need a copy, image, or data report? We can provide regular or certified copies of real property, marriage & domestic partnership records or a data report or export for the public records we preserve.
You can request research and/or copies from our office in-person, by mail, or email. We make every effort to process requests quickly and completely.
Large research requests should be submitted in writing, preferably by email with as much detail as possible regarding the records you are searching for. A per hour fee will apply when extensive research is required along with transmittal and copy fees. You may wish to hire a local abstractor or title company to assist with large research projects.
Please Note: Information provided in response to research requests will include copies and/or information matching the search criteria you provide. We do not know if your request is accurate. Our goal is to provide what has been requested.
