Your County Office to Your Aid

One the duties your local county does, is to provide you with easily-accessible public records for your own personal information and understanding. Most counties and towns run a website which serves as the portal of every resident to access information regarding their place, the people residing in their place, the businesses existing in their place, and so much more.

Since identity theft is most common, these counties also offer a measure to secure the records. This is in an effort to make sure that the records only reach the hands of those who intend professional and good use of the data acquired.

The Pinellas County public records do just that – secure the identity of their every resident while making available vital records to those who need them minus the hassle. To do such, Pinellas County public records have existing settings to limit the information that the give away – a public records setting accessible to “online guests”, and the subscriber account setting accessible to those who are registered.

Some of the records available to all are those needed for criminal case name search, civil claims case search, traffic violations or citation records, land tax information, tax deed sales and tax deed status information. Since most county offices want to practice transparency to avoid corruption, they also make available to the public information on construction project bids, contracts list, site plan lists, charity organization records, court and fines amount list.

Since the aim of the Pinellas county public records is to provide convenience to its residents, it also lists down extensive information on elections such as voting precinct locations and assignments, recent election information, offices up for election, campaign contributions records and candidate finance reports.

To serve their residents’ convenience further, their records include data on the county neighborhood mapping system, hurricane evacuation maps, road construction projects map and even current traffic advisory information.

The Pinellas County public records do not undermine the importance of even the miscellaneous details the public must be assisted on such as county activity schedules. Therefore they also allow the public to access the county calendar.

For the residents’ information, records on the code of ordinances, air quality index, and statewide official records link information, are also made available as part of their compilation of records.
