Hollywood Phone Directory for Public Records
Hollywood responds to public records requests in compliance with Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. The most efficient way to request records is through the city's online portal. The public records page explains the process and provides a link to submit requests electronically. The portal helps the city administer and manage requests in one place.
The Hollywood public records page provides instructions on how to submit requests and explains what qualifies as a public record.
Anyone can request records. You do not have to identify yourself or state why you want the documents. Florida law is clear on this point. Although written requests are not required, putting your request in writing offers practical benefits. It creates a clear record of what you asked for and helps staff find the right documents faster.
When it takes less than 15 minutes of staff time and no significant resources are spent, there is no labor charge for records. After that, the city can charge for the actual cost of staff time. Paper copies run $0.15 per page for single-sided and $0.25 for double-sided. Records that can be emailed are often free. Being specific about what you need helps keep costs down. Include date ranges, department names, and any qualifying details you can.
The Records and Archives division of the City Clerk's Office manages historical records and archived documents for Hollywood.
The Records and Archives page is the place to go for older documents or records that may not be available through the standard online portal. Florida law requires agencies to respond within a "limited reasonable time," which is the time it takes to review the request, search for records, retrieve them, and process them for release. There is no set number of days written into the law, but agencies cannot drag their feet.
Hollywood Police Records Phone Numbers
The Hollywood Police Department has its own records custodian, separate from the City Clerk. Randi Ho serves as the Police Records Supervisor.

The Police Records Section handles requests for incident reports, accident reports, and other law enforcement documents. Some records have exemptions under Florida law. Personal bank account numbers, social security numbers, work products for collective bargaining, and home addresses of law enforcement personnel are examples of exempt information. If a record is partially exempt, the department will redact the exempt portions and release the rest.
Note: Police records requests go through a different process than general city records, so make sure you contact the Police Records Section at (954) 967-4480 rather than the City Clerk for law enforcement documents.
