Sunrise City Clerk Records

The City of Sunrise has a public records request system run by the city clerk. You can ask for any document held by a city department as long as it is not exempt under state law. The clerk handles things like meeting minutes, city contracts, permits, and internal reports. If you want records about a Sunrise resident that the city holds, this is where to start. Requests can be made online, by mail, or in person at city hall. The staff will let you know if there is a cost and how long it will take.

The Sunrise public records request page is where you file a new request or check the status of one you already sent in.

Voter registration data from the Florida Division of Elections is one of the best tools for finding a current Sunrise resident by name and address.

Be clear when you make a request. Give the name of the person or the type of document you need. Add date ranges if you can. The more detail you give, the less time the clerk needs to find what you want. Broad requests can slow things down and may cost more if staff has to spend time sorting through files. The city follows the same fee rules as every other agency in Florida under Chapter 119.

Note: You can call the Sunrise city clerk at 954-746-3333 for help with any public records question.

Find Sunrise Residents by Name

Voter rolls are one of the fastest ways to look up a person in Sunrise. Florida law says voter data is public. 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 voter data from the Broward County Supervisor of Elections or from the Florida Division of Elections at the state level. If a Sunrise resident is on the voter rolls, you can find their current address this way.

Property records are just as useful. The Broward County Property Appraiser runs a free search tool where you can look up any property or owner by name. Results show who owns the property, their mailing address, what the home is worth, and if they have a Homestead exemption. A Homestead exemption almost always means the person lives at that address. You do not have to give your name or explain why you want to look someone up. The data goes back years and covers every parcel in Sunrise and the rest of Broward County.

Court records round out the picture. The Florida Comprehensive Case Information System lets you search by name across all 67 counties. It covers civil, criminal, family, and probate cases. Basic searches are free. If a Sunrise resident has any court case on file in Florida, it should show up here. You can also search the Broward County Clerk site for cases filed in the 17th Judicial Circuit.

Broward Clerk Records for Sunrise

The Broward County Clerk of Courts keeps official records that cover all of Sunrise. This includes deeds, mortgages, liens, marriage records, and court case files.

For court cases filed in Sunrise or anywhere in Broward County, the clerk handles all filings for the 17th Judicial Circuit.

Some documents may not show up online due to privacy rules, but basic case info like dates, parties, and case status is almost always there.

If you need a certified copy of a record, the clerk can provide one for a fee. Copies cost more than standard page rates because they come with a court seal. You can order them online or at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. For most residents directory searches in Sunrise, the free online tools will give you what you need.

Sunrise Records and State Law

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes is the law that makes public records open to everyone. It applies to every office in Sunrise, from the city clerk to the police department. Section 119.07(1) says any person can ask for records and does not have to say who they are or why they want them. The Sunrise residents directory is built on data that falls under this law. Voter files, court records, property data, and city documents are all covered.

There are things the law keeps out of public view. Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers are always redacted. Home addresses and photos of law enforcement can be exempt too. Under Chapter 119, agencies charge up to 15 cents per single-sided page. If a request takes more than 30 minutes of staff time, the agency can bill you for labor at the rate of the lowest paid worker who can do the job. The City of Sunrise follows these same rules for all records requests.

Sunrise Professional License Lookup

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has a free search tool that covers Sunrise and every city in the state. You can search by name, license number, or city. The results show the person's name, license type, status, and address of record. The DBPR database covers fields like real estate, construction, cosmetology, and many other trades and professions.

This tool is a good way to check on someone in Sunrise who works in a licensed trade. You can see if their license is active or if it has been revoked or suspended. The search is open to all and costs nothing to use.

You can also sign up for alerts when someone's status changes near you.
