Why This Site Exists
University Place incorporated in 1995, so many older and countywide records remain with Pierce County or Washington. The Auditor holds deeds, liens, plats, and marriage material. Courts publish case pointers, the Assessor-Treasurer connects parcels with taxpayer data, and the Secretary of State administers statewide voter information. Vital records are split between local and state offices. Clear office boundaries save misdirected searches and requests.
What Is Available Here
- Pages by record type: public records, voter registration records, and people directories
- Local records offices: county recorder, court clerk, assessor, elections office, vital records, city clerk
- Search walkthroughs: how to run a court name search, how to trace a property owner, how to use the library's directory collections
- Access rules: what Washington law makes public, what stays restricted, and how a public-records request works when a record is not online
