Boca Raton Residents Directory

The Boca Raton residents directory pulls from public records held by the city, Palm Beach County, and the state of Florida. Boca Raton sits in the south end of Palm Beach County and has close to 100,000 people. The City Clerk's Office handles public records for all city departments. You can also search county and state databases to find info on Boca Raton residents. Voter rolls, property files, court case data, and license records are all part of the public record under Florida law. This page covers the main ways to look up a person in Boca Raton and what to expect from each source.

Boca Raton Public Records Portal

The City of Boca Raton runs its own public records request system through a GovQA portal. The City Clerk's Office is the main point of contact for all public records held by city departments. You can search for past requests, check the status of one you sent in, or start a new request from the site. The city says it follows Florida's Sunshine laws and aims to be open about how it works. Records requests are for documents that already exist, not for new ones to be made.

The Boca Raton public records portal is where you can submit and track requests for city documents.

You can also check if someone else has asked for the same records you need, since past requests and released files are stored on the portal.

When you make a request, be clear about what you want. Give date ranges and key words to help staff find the right files. Broad requests can slow things down and may cost more if they take over 30 minutes of staff time. The city charges for copies and labor when the work goes past that mark. If you have questions about the process, call the City Clerk's Office at 561-393-7740 or use the online form.

Note: Under Florida law, any email you send to a city office is a public record, so call or write if you want your contact info to stay private.

Search Boca Raton Residents

Voter rolls are one of the best ways to find a person in Boca Raton. Florida makes voter data public. The file has each voter's name, home address, date of birth, and party. You do not get Social Security numbers or license numbers. The Florida Division of Elections confirms that voter info is a public record. You can get this data from the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections or from the state office in Tallahassee. It is a fast way to find a current address for a Boca Raton resident.

Property records are another strong tool. The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser lets you search by name, address, or parcel number. You can see who owns a home, their mailing address, the assessed value, and any exemptions. If a Boca Raton resident has a Homestead exemption on file, that is almost always their main home. These records are free to search. You do not need to give your name or say why you want to look something up.

Court records round out the picture. The Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts keeps all case files for the 15th Judicial Circuit. You can search by name for civil, criminal, family, and probate cases. The Florida CCIS also lets you search across all 67 counties at once. Both tools are free for basic searches.

Boca Raton Police Records

The Boca Raton Police Services department handles law enforcement records for the city. You can request police reports through the same GovQA portal that the city uses for all public records. Incident reports, arrest records, and traffic crash reports are all on file. If you go in person, the police department is at 100 NW 2nd Ave in Boca Raton. The non-emergency phone number is 561-338-1234.

When you ask for a police report, it helps to have the case number or the date of the event. This speeds up the search. Active investigations are not open to the public, and some victim or witness info gets taken out to follow state law. Crash reports can also be pulled from the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles site if you prefer that route.

Boca Raton License Search

The Florida DBPR license search covers Boca Raton and every other city in Florida. You can look up a person by name, license number, or city. Results show the person's name, license status, address of record, and any past problems. The database holds over one million records and covers fields like real estate, construction, cosmetology, and many more.

This is useful if you want to check on a Boca Raton resident who works in a licensed trade. The search is free. Make sure the status says Active before you hire someone. If a license is suspended or expired, that shows up too.

Safety Records in Boca Raton

The FDLE offender search lets you look up registered sexual offenders and predators in and around Boca Raton. You can search by name, address, or zip code. The database shows photos, physical details, offenses, and current addresses. A map tool lets you see all registered offenders within a set distance of any Boca Raton address. Email alerts are also on the site so you can get updates when something changes in your area.

It is a crime to use this data to harass anyone on the list. The database gets updated daily as offenders check in with local law enforcement.

Note: The FDLE search covers all of Florida, not just Boca Raton, so you can check any address in the state from the same tool.

Boca Raton Records and Florida Law

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes gives everyone the right to inspect and copy public records. This law applies to every city and county office in the state, including Boca Raton. You do not need to give your name or explain why you want records. The Boca Raton residents directory draws from records that fall under this law.

Some info is off limits. Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and Florida ID numbers stay out of public files. Home addresses of law enforcement and some other groups are also exempt. Agencies can charge up to 15 cents per one-sided page copy. If a request takes more than 30 minutes of staff time, the agency can bill for the labor. The rate is based on the lowest paid worker who can handle the task. These rules apply to all Boca Raton city records.
