This is not a government records office. Kent Residents Directory cannot retrieve files, certify copies, confirm a person's address, or remove someone from an official record. Direct those matters to the custodian. For an emergency, call 911. For stalking or harassment concerns, contact local law enforcement.
Finding the Right Kent Record
Choose the route that matches the record involved:
- Address, parcel, or ownership: begin with the Kent street directory route.
- Older listings and local collections: use Kent city directories.
- A named individual or public docket: use the resident lookup route.
- Existing City material: contact the Kent Law Department records desk at 320 S. Depeyster St., Kent, OH 44240; City main is 330-678-8100.
- City request access: Kent accepts an email request or its downloadable public-records form. A written request is optional under Ohio Public Records Act practice, although a clear description helps identify the existing record.
