Palm Beach Gardens Public Records

The City of Palm Beach Gardens keeps public records through its City Clerk's office. Under Florida law, any document the city makes or gets in the course of doing business counts as a public record. That means meeting notes, permits, contracts, and data from every city department are all on the table. You can file a request to get these records, and the city must give them to you in a fair amount of time. The Palm Beach Gardens residents directory draws from these files along with county and state data sources.

The Palm Beach Gardens public records request page is where you can start a request or learn more about the process.

You can also call the city at (561) 799-4100 if you have questions about what records are on file or how to submit a request.

When you send in a request, try to be as clear as you can about what you need. Give names, dates, and the department if you know it. Broad requests can take longer to fill and may cost more if they need a lot of staff time. Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, you do not have to say who you are or explain why you want the records. The city can charge up to 15 cents per page for copies and may add labor fees for requests that take more than 30 minutes of work. Palm Beach Gardens follows the same rules as every other city in the state.

Note: Email addresses sent to the city become public records under Florida law, so call or write if you want to keep your contact info private.

Voter data is one of the most useful tools in the Palm Beach Gardens residents directory. Florida law makes voter rolls public. Each voter file has the person's full name, home address, date of birth, and party. Social Security numbers and license numbers are not in the public file. You can get voter data from the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections or from the Florida Division of Elections in Tallahassee. This is a fast way to check if someone lives in Palm Beach Gardens and find their current address.

Not every Palm Beach Gardens resident will show up in voter rolls. Only those who have signed up to vote will be in the file. Still, it covers a large share of the adult population. The data gets updated on a regular basis as people move, change names, or switch parties. It is free to look at and open to anyone who asks for it.

If a Palm Beach Gardens resident has a Homestead exemption, that is almost always their main home.

These records go back many years and are updated each year for tax rolls. You do not need to give your name or say why you want the data. The search is free and open to all. Property data can also help you learn about a Palm Beach Gardens address even if you do not know who lives there. Just type in the street address and the tool will pull up the owner info and the full property details.

Note: The property appraiser site also shows sales history, which tells you when a Palm Beach Gardens home last changed hands and for how much.
