What are Sunnyvale Public Records?

Sunnyvale public records included records owned, generated, or stored by any local or state agency during the conduct of public business. In compliance with the California Public Records Act, these records can be accessed and obtained by almost anyone. However, access to some records may be restricted by law or a court order. This is more likely to occur for records that contain protected information such as:

  • Preliminary notes or drafts (as long as the public interest in restricting access outweighs the interest served by disclosure)
  • Details of law enforcement complaints, and security files
  • Personal data collected as part of a research or clinical trial
  • Records that contain financial or personal information of employees
  • Information submitted in confidence as part of financial or tax payer data

In addition to official sources, public city records may also be accessible from third-party websites. Record seekers may either opt to use these non-governmental platforms to search for a specific record or multiple city records. However, users will need to provide enough information to assist with the search such as:

  • The address of the requestor
  • A case number or file number (if known)
  • The location of the document or person involved
  • The name of the subject involved in the record (not juvenile)
  • The last known or current address of the registrant

Third-party sites are not sponsored by government agencies. Because of this, record availability and results may vary.
