Why This Site Exists
Sonoma County keeps people-related records in separate systems. The Sonoma County Clerk-Recorder-Assessor handles deeds, liens, marriage records, property assessment, and several county indexes. Sonoma Superior Court publishes a case portal, while its Records Department maintains the official court files. Voter information belongs to the Registrar of Voters, and vital records are split between local and state custodians. California licensing boards, the Secretary of State business registry, city offices, and the History & Genealogy Library add still more sources. Bringing those routes together makes it easier to identify the correct official search or records counter.
