Be as clear as you can when you ask for records. Give dates, names, and key words so staff can find what you need faster. Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, Palm Bay can charge 15 cents per single-sided page and 20 cents per double-sided page for copies. If a request takes more than 15 to 30 minutes of staff time, the city can charge a labor fee on top of the copy cost.

Note: Under Florida law, email addresses sent to city offices are public records. If you do not want your email released, call or send a letter instead.

Find Palm Bay Residents Records

Voter data is a good place to start. Florida law treats voter rolls as public records. The file has each voter's full name, home address, date of birth, and party. It does not have Social Security numbers or license numbers. You can get Palm Bay voter data from the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections or the state Division of Elections. The data gets updated as people register, move, or change their info. For the Palm Bay residents directory, this is one of the most direct ways to find where someone lives.

Property records are also useful for the Palm Bay residents directory. The Brevard County Property Appraiser lets you search by name, address, or parcel number. Results show the owner's name, mailing address, assessed value, and exemptions. If a Palm Bay resident has a Homestead exemption, that is almost always their main home. The search is free and open to all. No account is needed. These records cover every property in Brevard County and go back many years.

Court records add more detail. The Brevard County Clerk of Courts has an online search for civil, criminal, family, and probate cases. You can look up any Palm Bay resident by name or case number. The statewide Florida CCIS system pulls court data from all 67 counties, so you can check if someone has cases outside Brevard too.

Palm Bay Police Records

Crash reports cost $10 each, as set by Florida Statutes. Accident reports are kept confidential for the first 60 days after the crash date, with exceptions for certain parties like the people involved and their insurance companies. After 60 days, crash reports become open to the public.
