This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Petaluma Residents Directory is a private reference. It cannot pull records, certify copies, confirm who is at an address, or remove a person from an official roll. Those requests belong with the office that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Looking for a Specific Record?
The appropriate Petaluma route depends on the record and the question:
- Address and parcel records: use the Petaluma street directory workflow and the Sonoma Property Hub.
- Older directory volumes and past households: use the Petaluma directory book collections.
- One person and cross-checks: use the Petaluma resident lookup workflow.
- ZIP routing and city-line questions: use Petaluma ZIP Codes with USPS and parcel checks.
- Records not online: file a request under the California Public Records Act with the named custodian.
