HOW CAN THESE RECORDS BE REFERENCED?
Records Center staff has the capability to respond to reference requests via telephone (972-548-5560 or metro 972-424-1460 ext. 5565), fax machine 972-548-5567, mail courier service for County personnel, email at the address on the Records web page, and personal visitation to the Records Center. You must have box/location number and file folder title or case number or Deed or other Record book and page number. Records Center staff cannot access any records without correct reference. Approval from the appropriate records custodian (appropriate County Department) must be received before records can be reviewed by the public. Please contact the appropriate County department for the required reference/location information before contacting the Records Center.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RETRIEVE A RECORD?
The goal of the Records Center is to have the requested documents delivered to the requesting department within one county business day. Public walk-in customers are assisted as quickly as possible. A response to an Open Records Request is provided within 10 business days.

WHAT MATERIALS AT THE RECORDS CENTER ARE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC?
Once you have obtained the indexing information from the appropriate county department, the Records Center staff can pull and copy the appropriate reference book for you. You must go to the County Clerk or Tax offices first to obtain the necessary reference information. The Records Center does not have copies of the various indices. The fee for copying a County Clerk record is $1.00 per page and will be collected for all copies of County Clerk records copied by the Records Center for the general public.
