Most city documents are public records, meaning you can look at them and request copies. Some records are exempt from disclosure because they are considered confidential or privileged. Rules about records can be found in the Public Records Act. Need help?clerk@carlsbadca.gov |
Although the City of Carlsbad has temporarily suspended in-person services in response to the San Diego County public health order to slow the spread of COVID-19, the City Clerk’s Office has developed a process to safely facilitate the review of public documents responsive to a Public Records Act request by appointment.
This service is being provided on a temporary basis to help increase access to government documents during the COVID-19 public health emergency. To use this temporary service, submit a Public Records Act request via the online portal. Once your records are ready, call 760-434-2808 during business hours to schedule an appointment. Please have your Records Request number ready.
