Hialeah Residents Directory

Hialeah residents directory records are held by both the city and the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts. With a population near 220,000, Hialeah is the second largest city in Miami-Dade County. Public records for Hialeah residents include voter rolls, property files, court cases, and police reports. The city runs its own request portal through NextRequest, and the county clerk handles official records like deeds, liens, and court filings. Many of these records can be searched online at no cost. This guide covers the main tools and resources you can use to look up residents directory info for people in Hialeah.

Hialeah Public Records Portal

The City of Hialeah uses a web portal to handle all public records requests. The system is built on NextRequest, which is the same software other Florida cities use. You can search for past requests and view documents that have been released. If you need something that has not been asked for yet, click the Make Request button and fill out the form. The portal lets you track your request and get email updates on its status.

The Hialeah public records request portal is where you can search for records or start a new request for city documents.

Creating an account lets you get email alerts when your request is ready, which is helpful for records that take a few days.

The portal is only for City of Hialeah records. County-level records need to go through the Miami-Dade County Clerk. If you are not sure which office has what you need, contact the Hialeah City Clerk at (305) 883-5820. The clerk can point you to the right place. For general questions about how to use the portal or what records are on file, the clerk's office is the first place to call.

Note: Registering for an account on the portal allows you to track requests and see updates without having to check back each day.

Hialeah Police Records Search

The Hialeah Police Department has a Records Unit that handles incident reports, arrest records, and traffic accident reports. The unit manages the collection, processing, and release of all official police documents in the city. You can submit a request for police records through the city's main public records portal or visit the Records Unit in person at 501 Palm Avenue, Hialeah, FL 33010. The general phone number is 305-687-2525.

The Hialeah Police Department Records Unit page has more details on what records are on file and how to get them.

Have the case number or incident date ready when you call. This speeds up the search.

The Records Unit is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Some info in police reports may be blacked out under Florida public records law. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes allows agencies to hold back certain details that are part of an active case or that could put someone at risk. Once a case closes, most of those records open up to the public. If you need a police report for a Hialeah incident, you can get it in person or through the online portal.

Find Hialeah Residents Directory Info

Voter rolls are one of the best ways to search for a person in Hialeah. Florida law makes voter data public, and the records include each voter's name, address, date of birth, and party. You can request voter lists from the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections or from the Florida Division of Elections in Tallahassee. The data does not have Social Security or license numbers. If you want to find a current address for someone in Hialeah, voter rolls are a solid starting point.

Property records give you another route. The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser has a search tool that covers Hialeah and every other part of the county. You can search by name or street address. Results show who owns a property, the mailing address on file, and the property's assessed value. If a Hialeah resident has a Homestead exemption, that address is almost always their primary home. The search is free and open to anyone.

Court records are another part of the Hialeah residents directory. The Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts online search tool lets you look up cases by name or case number. The system covers civil, criminal, family, and probate filings. You can also check the statewide Florida CCIS system to search court records from all 67 counties at once.

Hialeah Records and Florida Law

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes says all records made or received by a public agency are open for inspection and copying. This applies to the City of Hialeah, Miami-Dade County, and every other government office in the state. You do not need to give your name or say why you want the records. Section 119.07(1) gives every person the right to inspect and copy public records. The Hialeah residents directory draws from these records.

Active criminal investigation records may also be held back until the case is closed.
