Find Tallahassee Phone Directory

The Tallahassee phone directory covers city departments, the Treasurer-Clerk's office, and public records contacts for the capital city of Florida. As the state capital, Tallahassee is home to both city and state government offices, which means there are more phone directory listings here than in most Florida cities. The main City Hall number is (850) 891-0000. This guide pulls together the key Tallahassee phone numbers, records request portals, and department contacts. All government contact info in Tallahassee is public under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes.

Tallahassee City Treasurer-Clerk Contacts

The City Treasurer-Clerk's Office is the main contact for public records in Tallahassee. Jim Cooke holds the position. The direct phone number is (850) 891-8130. City Hall is at 300 S. Adams St., Tallahassee, FL 32301. The Treasurer-Clerk serves as the custodian of records for general city documents. That title means this office is responsible for maintaining and providing access to most Tallahassee city records. If you need a phone number for a city department or want copies of city documents, this office is where to start.

City offices are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Holidays observed by the city will close the offices. If you call outside those hours, you will not reach a live person. For urgent matters outside business hours, the main city line at (850) 891-0000 may have recorded options that route to emergency services.

The Tallahassee Custodian of Records page lists the contact info for each records custodian in the city government.

The page shows three custodians. For records of a general nature, the City Treasurer-Clerk handles requests through the Records Division on the 2nd floor of City Hall. For law enforcement records and traffic crash reports, the Chief of Police handles those through the TPD Records Division at 234 7th Avenue, Tallahassee, FL 32303. Growth management records have their own custodian too. Knowing which custodian holds the record you need saves time. You can call the right office directly instead of being transferred around.

Note: Tallahassee has three separate records custodians for different types of city records, so check which one handles your request before calling.

Tallahassee Phone Directory for Key Offices

Beyond the Treasurer-Clerk, Tallahassee has several offices that people search the phone directory for regularly. The police records division at (850) 891-4221 handles all law enforcement records and crash reports. The Mayor's office, currently held by John E. Dailey, can be reached at (850) 891-8181. The main city hall line at (850) 891-0000 connects to the general switchboard.

These are the most used numbers in the Tallahassee phone directory. The city also runs a search page on its website where you can look up departments, staff, and services. This is helpful when you need a direct number that is not listed in the table above but still falls under city government.

The Tallahassee City Search page lets you look up departments and services across the city website.

The search page pulls results from across the full talgov.com site. Type in a department name, topic, or service and it returns matching pages. Each result links to a department page that has phone numbers and contact details. It works well for finding smaller offices or specific programs that might not show up on the main directory page.

Tallahassee Public Records Online Portal

Tallahassee uses the JustFOIA platform for online public records requests. The portal is at tallahasseefl.justfoia.com. You can file a new request, check the status of one you already sent, or browse past requests. The system tracks every submission and sends updates as city staff work on it. It is the fastest way to get records from Tallahassee if you prefer the online route.

The JustFOIA portal for Tallahassee handles requests from the public for all types of city records.

You can also submit requests by phone or by mail. Phone requests go to the appropriate custodian based on the type of record. General records requests go to the Treasurer-Clerk at (850) 891-8130. Law enforcement records go to the TPD Records Division at (850) 891-4221. The city asks that you use the online form when possible because it creates a clear record of what was asked and when. But the law does not require you to use any particular method. You can ask however you want.

The Tallahassee new request page is where you start a fresh records request through the JustFOIA system.

The form asks what records you need and how you want to receive them. You do not have to give your name under Florida law, though the portal may ask for contact info so staff can send you the documents. In compliance with Florida Statutes Section 119.12(2), the city has designated specific custodians for different record types. This setup means your request goes straight to the right team instead of sitting in a general queue.

Note: The Tallahassee JustFOIA portal is free to use, though fees may apply for extensive requests that take significant staff time.

Tallahassee Police Records Phone Contacts

The Tallahassee Police Department has its own records division at 234 7th Avenue, Tallahassee, FL 32303. The phone number for TPD records is (850) 891-4221. This is the right contact for crash reports, arrest records, incident reports, and any other law enforcement records held by the city. The Chief of Police serves as the custodian for these records, which is separate from the Treasurer-Clerk who handles general city records.

Traffic crash reports are one of the most common requests at the TPD records office. Under Florida law, crash reports are confidential for 60 days after the filing date. During that window, only the people involved in the crash and certain authorized parties can get copies. After 60 days, the reports become public. If you need a crash report from Tallahassee, call TPD records first to see if the report is available yet.

The Tallahassee Police Department records page explains how to request law enforcement records and lists the office address and hours. The TPD records division follows the same Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM schedule as the rest of city government. Walk-ins are welcome during those hours. You can also submit requests online through the JustFOIA system. TPD-related requests get routed to the police records team automatically.

Leon County Records for Tallahassee

Tallahassee is in Leon County. Court records, property records, marriage licenses, and official recorded documents all go through the Leon County Clerk of Courts. The county clerk is a separate office from the Tallahassee city government. If the Tallahassee Treasurer-Clerk does not hold the record you need, the Leon County clerk is the likely alternative.
