Coral Gables Residents Directory

The Coral Gables residents directory is based on public records held by the City of Coral Gables and Miami-Dade County. With a population close to 50,000, Coral Gables is one of the older planned communities in South Florida. Public records for Coral Gables residents include voter rolls, property files, court cases, and state license databases. The city clerk handles requests for city documents, and the county clerk manages court filings, deeds, and liens. Florida's Sunshine Law guarantees access to most of these records. This page shows you where to look and how to search for residents directory information on people who live in Coral Gables.

Coral Gables Public Records Requests

The City of Coral Gables processes public records requests through its city clerk's office. You can ask for documents from any department, including police, building, code enforcement, and finance. The clerk's office is the main contact for all Coral Gables city records. Florida law requires that records be made available for inspection and copying. You do not need to state a reason for your request or provide identification.

The Coral Gables public records request page explains how to submit requests and gives you the forms you may need.

Checking the city's page first can tell you if the records you need are available from Coral Gables or if you should go through the county instead.

Coral Gables has a well-organized records system. The city has been around for about a century, so there are many years of files on hand. If you need older records, the clerk may need more time to pull them. For recent documents, the process is usually straightforward. Fees follow state rules: up to 15 cents per page and labor charges if the search goes past 30 minutes. You can call the city clerk at 305-460-5210 for questions about what records are on file or how long a request will take.

Note: Coral Gables city records only cover documents held by city departments; county records like deeds and court cases go through Miami-Dade County.

Find Coral Gables Residents Records

Voter data is one of the fastest ways to search the Coral Gables residents directory. Florida treats voter records as public information. The data shows each voter's name, home address, date of birth, and party registration. Social Security and license numbers are not included. The Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections or the state Division of Elections can provide this data. If you want to find a current address for someone in Coral Gables, voter rolls are a good place to start.

Property records give you more info. The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser has a search tool that covers Coral Gables and every other area in the county. Search by name, address, or folio number. Results show the owner's name, mailing address, assessed value, and exemptions. Coral Gables has a lot of single-family homes, and many owners have a Homestead exemption on file. That exemption means the property is their main residence. The tool is free and open to anyone.

Court records round things out. The Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts online search lets you look up civil, criminal, family, and probate cases by name or case number. The Florida CCIS system goes statewide, pulling case data from all 67 counties. If a Coral Gables resident has a case filed in another part of Florida, CCIS will show it. Both tools are free for basic searches.

Coral Gables License Search

The Florida DBPR license search is a free tool that covers licensed professionals in Coral Gables. You can look up a person by name, license number, or city. Results include the license type, current status, address on file, and any past complaints or actions. The DBPR covers fields like real estate, construction, cosmetology, and hospitality. Coral Gables has many professionals in real estate and construction, so this tool sees heavy use for the area.

Always make sure the license status says Active before you hire someone in Coral Gables. An expired or suspended license means that person is not cleared to work in their field. The database is open to the public and does not need a login. You can view the full history of any license holder, going back to when the license was first issued.

Note: The DBPR search covers the entire state, so you can check on someone's license no matter where in Florida they do business.
