Westchester Residents Directory Lookup

Westchester is a census-designated place in Miami-Dade County with about 56,000 residents. The Westchester residents directory is built from public records held by the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts and other county offices. Because Westchester is a CDP and not an incorporated city, it does not have its own clerk or records department. Voter rolls, property records, court filings, and professional license data for Westchester residents all come from county and state sources. Most of these records are free to search online and this page shows you how to find them.

Westchester Voter Records Search

Voter rolls are a strong starting point for the Westchester residents directory. Florida makes voter data public. Each record has the voter's full name, home address, date of birth, and party. Social Security numbers and license numbers are not in the public file. For Westchester, the voter data sits with the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections.

The Florida Division of Elections explains what is in the voter file and how to get it. Anyone can ask for this data. You do not need to give a reason. If a person is registered to vote at a Westchester address, you can find their name and current home address this way. The data is updated when people move or change their registration. Not all adults register, so the file will miss some residents. But for those who do, the voter roll is a reliable source.

Note: Florida law restricts the use of voter data for commercial solicitation purposes.

Westchester Property Records

The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser has property records for all of Westchester. Search by owner name, address, or folio number. Each result shows the owner's name, mailing address, the assessed value, and exemptions. A Homestead exemption is a strong indicator that the property is the owner's primary home. Westchester has a large number of single-family homes, and many of them carry this exemption.

The search tool is free. It does not need a login or account. You can view sales history, tax values, and building details for each parcel. If you want to find a Westchester resident by their property, this is one of the most direct methods. The appraiser updates values each year and posts new figures after the county certifies the tax roll. For older records, the system may have less detail, but most Westchester properties have full data going back to at least the mid-1990s.

You can also see who used to own a property. The sales history tab shows past transfers with dates and sale prices. This can help you trace a Westchester resident's moves if they sold one home and bought another in the area.

Westchester Court Records

Court records for Westchester residents are filed with the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts. The clerk's online search covers official records like deeds, liens, mortgages, and marriage certificates. You can search by name or date range. Many documents have images on the site. The clerk also handles all court case filings for the 11th Judicial Circuit, which includes Westchester.

If you want to see if a Westchester resident has court cases, the clerk's case search is the place to go. Civil suits, criminal charges, family law matters, and probate cases are all in the system. Basic case info like filing dates, party names, and case types is free to view. Some document images may need a small fee to access, but the index data costs nothing.

The Florida CCIS system gives you a way to search across all 67 counties at once. If a Westchester resident has cases in other Florida counties, CCIS will pick them up. The basic search is free and does not require you to create an account.

Note: Sealed and confidential cases will not appear in public search results. Family court cases often have extra protections.

Westchester and Public Records Law

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes controls public records access for Westchester and all of Miami-Dade County. The law says any person can ask for records. You do not need to give your name. You do not need to state a reason. Section 119.07(1) makes this clear. The records covered by this law include voter files, property data, court documents, and most other government records.

There are exemptions. Social Security numbers are always kept out. Driver's license and Florida ID numbers are redacted too. Some workers like police officers and judges have their home addresses exempt from public view. When an agency provides copies, it can charge up to 15 cents per one-sided page. If a request takes more than 30 minutes of staff time to process, the agency can add a labor fee. The rate is based on the pay of the lowest level employee who can handle the task. Fees must be paid before records are sent out.

For Westchester residents, the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts is the main contact for records requests. You can call 305-275-1155 for help. Online searches are usually the quickest route, but phone and mail requests are also accepted by the clerk's office.

Westchester Professional Licenses

The Florida DBPR license search lets you check on licensed professionals in Westchester. You can search by name, city, or license number. Results show the person's license type, current status, address of record, and any disciplinary actions. The database has over one million records covering dozens of fields. Real estate, contracting, cosmetology, and many other trades are included.

The search is free. Look at the status field to see if a license is active. If it shows anything other than Active, the person may not be able to practice in that field right now. The DBPR keeps the data current, with updates showing up within a few business days of any change. This is a useful tool for the Westchester residents directory when you want to verify someone's professional standing.

Safety Records in Westchester

The FDLE sexual offender and predator search covers all of Florida, including Westchester. You can search by name, address, or zip code. The results include photos, descriptions, offenses, and current addresses. A neighborhood search tool lets you see all registered offenders near any Westchester address. You can set the distance and view the results on a map.

The database is updated daily. Email alerts are available. You can be notified if someone on the registry moves near your area in Westchester. Using the data to harass or threaten anyone on the list is a crime. The search is free and does not need a login or account. The FDLE also has a general criminal history search, but that tool costs money and serves a different purpose than the free offender registry.

Westchester Records Contact Info
