Core county-agency starter entries loaded; verification and municipality breakdown still needed.
“Official source located” means the desk found a government source in the master build or the current county review. It does not mean every filing instruction has completed a fresh audit. Audit dates appear only after that checklist is complete.
Search the official agenda/minutes archive first. For Commission-held records, Policy 50 requires the county form, proof of Alabama residency and in-person submission to the Chief Administrative Officer; unsolicited email requests are not accepted.
Contact Criminal Investigations / Records to identify custody for incident, arrest, jail, investigative, body-camera and audiovisual records; confirm retention and redaction before filing.
Use the county-authorized Ingenuity route linked from Probate for land and marriage-record searches. Contact Recording or Probate Court for certified copies, older files and unavailable records.
Use Just One Look for eligible state trial-court records or contact Circuit Clerk Carla H. Woodall's applicable division for copies, certifications and files unavailable online.
Use the official Revenue page's Property Record Search and Map Search links for routine parcel research. Contact Collections, Appraisal or Mapping for certified copies, bulk data and records not posted online.
Review official Board meeting video and district material first. Contact Superintendent Brandy White's central office for agendas, minutes, finance, procurement, personnel and other non-posted public records.
Route requests to the appropriate clerk or agency for Ashford, Avon, Columbia, Cottonwood, Cowarts, Dothan, Gordon, Kinsey, Madrid, Rehobeth, Taylor or Webb. Police, courts, schools, utilities and authorities may keep separate records.
Contact Registrars for voter-registration and voter-roll records, Probate Judge Patrick Davenport for election administration, and Circuit Clerk Carla H. Woodall as Absentee Election Manager.
Contact Dothan–Houston County EMA for plans and disaster records. Route addressing, E911-board, CAD, recordings and dispatch records to the joint Communications District or originating public-safety agency according to custody.
Contact Coroner Robert Byrd for eligible death-investigation, autopsy or toxicology records. Obtain certified death certificates from the Houston County Health Department or Alabama Vital Records rather than the Coroner.
