Private reference, not a records office. Santa Barbara Residents Directory cannot retrieve, certify, correct, or remove a government record. It also cannot confirm who currently occupies an address. For an immediate emergency call 911. If a person is being stalked or harassed, contact local law enforcement.
Looking for a Specific Record?
Use the route that matches the record rather than sending personal details to a general mailbox. The directory pages point to the relevant custodian:
- Street and parcel work: use the Santa Barbara Street Directory route.
- Older volumes and past households: open the Santa Barbara Directory Book collections.
- One person or one case: use the Santa Barbara Resident Lookup workflow.
- ZIP and boundary questions: use Santa Barbara ZIP Codes.
- Records not found online: send a focused request to the office that holds the identifiable record under the California Public Records Act.
For City records, the OneRequest portal accepts a guest or account submission, lets a requester track a response, and exposes prior requests and released files. A useful request names the department, address or APN, record type, date span, and preferred format.
