St. Petersburg City Phone Directory

St. Petersburg runs a phone directory on its main website that lists all city departments and key offices. The general phone number for the city is 727-893-7111. Call this line and you can get routed to any department. The directory page on the city site shows each office with its phone number, email, and street address. You can use it to find a direct line without having to wait on hold or talk to an operator first.

The city directory page is at stpete.org/connect_with_us/directories.

The page lists offices by name and gives a short note about what each one does. It is a good first stop when you need a phone number for a specific St. Petersburg department but are not sure which one handles your issue. The site may ask you to fill out a CAPTCHA before you can see some directory pages. This is normal. Just fill it in and you will get through to the full list. The main City Hall is at 175 5th Street North in St. Petersburg. Most offices are open Monday through Friday during normal hours, though some have different walk-in schedules.

The City Clerk's office is one of the most called numbers in the St. Petersburg phone directory. You can reach it at (727) 893-7448. The current City Clerk is Chan Srinivasa. The clerk handles public records, city council records, and official documents for St. Petersburg. You can also email the clerk at city.clerk@stpete.org. Mail goes to City of St. Petersburg, PO Box 2842, St. Petersburg, FL 33731.

Note: The city website may show a CAPTCHA when you try to view certain directory pages, which is standard for their system.

St. Petersburg Public Records Phone Contacts

Public records requests in St. Petersburg go through the City Clerk's Office. Florida law says that any material made in connection with official government business is a public record. That means phone lists, staff directories, emails, and most other city documents are open for anyone to view. You do not have to be a St. Petersburg resident to ask. You do not need to say why you want the records. This is all laid out in Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, which is the state's public records law.

The public records page is at stpete.org/government/transparency/public_records.

You can make a records request by phone, email, or through the online portal. Requests do not have to be in writing. You can call (727) 893-7448 and ask for what you need. That said, putting it in writing helps when the request is detailed. The clerk's fax number is (727) 892-5102 if you need to send something that way. Email the clerk directly at Chandrahasa.Srinivasa@StPete.org for records questions.

The first 30 minutes of staff time to safeguard records during an in-person inspection is free. After that, fees can apply. Copies cost up to 15 cents per one-sided page for standard paper sizes. Two-sided copies are no more than an extra 5 cents. If your request takes a lot of staff time, the city can charge a special service fee that adds 33 percent on top of the direct salary cost to cover benefits. Most simple requests cost nothing or close to it, so do not let the fee rules scare you off from asking.

St. Petersburg Online Records Center

St. Petersburg uses a system called GovQA for its online Public Records Center. This portal lets you submit a records request, track its status, and get responses all in one place. You can use it from any computer or phone. It is free to submit a request through the portal. The city will let you know if there are any fees before they start work on your request.

The online records portal is at stpetefl.mycusthelp.com.

To use the portal, you create an account and then fill out a request form. Describe what records you need. Be as clear as you can. The more detail you give, the faster the city can find what you are looking for. Once you submit, the system gives you a tracking number. You can log back in any time to check on progress. If the city has questions about your request, they will reach out through the portal. This is one of the most used tools in the St. Petersburg phone directory system because it replaces a lot of the back-and-forth phone calls that used to be the only way to get records.

Note: The GovQA portal is the same system many other Florida cities use, so if you have used it before the process will feel the same here.

St. Petersburg Police Records Phone Number

The St. Petersburg Police Department runs its own records division. This is the office to call when you need a police report, crash report, or other law enforcement record. The police records division has a page on the department website that explains what records are available and how to get them.

The police records page is at police.stpete.org/policeRecordsDivision.

Police records are handled separately from other city records in St. Petersburg. You go through the police department, not the City Clerk, for these. The process is still covered by Chapter 119, so most police records are public. Some records may be exempt under specific state statutes, like ongoing investigation files or information about crime victims. The police records division can tell you what is available when you call or visit. Their office is part of the main St. Petersburg Police headquarters.

City Clerk Office Phone Directory

The City Clerk's office in St. Petersburg is the main hub for official city records. Beyond public records requests, this office handles city council meeting minutes, ordinances, resolutions, and other legislative documents. If you need to find out what the city council voted on or want a copy of a local ordinance, the clerk's office is the place to call.

The City Clerk website is at stpete.org/clerk.

The clerk's office is on the first floor of City Hall at 175 5th Street North. Walk-in visits are welcome during business hours. You can call (727) 893-7448 to check hours before you go, or to ask about a specific record over the phone. The clerk's site also has links to agendas, meeting schedules, and archived documents that you can view without making a formal request. Many people in St. Petersburg use the clerk's site as a quick reference when they need to find a phone number or track down a city document.

Note: Staff email addresses at St. Petersburg city offices are public records under Florida law, so they may be released through a records request.

Key St. Petersburg Phone Numbers

These are the most used contacts in the St. Petersburg phone directory. They cover the main offices that residents and visitors call most.

All of these contacts are public under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. If you send email to any of these addresses, be aware that your message could be released through a public records request. Many people call instead of emailing for that reason. The general line at 727-893-7111 is the fastest way to reach any St. Petersburg city department if you are not sure which one you need.

Pinellas County Phone Directory

St. Petersburg sits in Pinellas County, which has its own full set of government offices and phone contacts. The county handles things like court records, property records, and tax collection that the city does not manage on its own. If you need a record that is not a city record, the county is likely the right place to look. Pinellas County's main phone number is (727) 464-3000, and the county runs a 311 service for non-emergency questions from inside the county.

The Pinellas County Clerk of Court handles court records, official recorded documents, and other filings. You can search court records online through the clerk's site at no cost. This is where you go for things like case lookups, deed searches, or lien records that are filed at the county level rather than through the city of St. Petersburg.
