This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Gilroy Residents Directory is privately operated. It cannot pull records, certify copies, verify who lives at an address, or change a roll or database. Ask the office that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Finding the Right Gilroy Custodian
For a record tied to Gilroy or southern Santa Clara County, start with the office that actually keeps it:
- An address or parcel: start with the Santa Clara County Assessor's property search, then use the Gilroy street directory for the address trail
- Old volumes and past residents: use the Gilroy city directory collections and local-history holdings
- One person: use the Gilroy resident lookup path, then verify any match with an official custodian
- Deeds, vital records, and filings: contact the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder; court matters belong with the Superior Court
- A record that is not online: make a focused request under the California Public Records Act (CPRA), Government Code ยง 7920.000 et seq., to the named custodian
