Public Records Request

Pursuant to N.C.G.S. Chapter 132, the Town of Holly Springs makes available to the public all records in its custody and control that are defined as “public records” under N.C.G.S. §132-1.

There is no charge for inspecting records in person or receiving them electronically. Copies, flash drives, other methods of receiving records, requests that require extensive use of technology resources, clerical and/or supervisory assistance will be charged according to the fee schedule in place at the time of the request, and you will be given an estimate of the charges before your request is filled.

Public Records

The Town Clerk’s Office is the official custodian of Town records. Many permanent and recent records can be downloaded from our website.
These include:

• Minutes
• Town Council Meeting Videos
• Code of Ordinances
• Town Council Meeting Agenda

Zoning Verification Requests

Public record requests for information on real estate, such as property zoning, development/site plan approval, special/conditional uses, variances, conditions of approval, zoning violations, or compliance with conditions of approval, should be directed to the Development Services Department for a zoning verification request.

Other records:

• Accident reports: Visit the N.C. Department of Transportation, select “crash reports” under the “Offices & Services” tab, and request information.
  • For record requests for incidents that involved a Holly Springs Police response (other than vehicle-only accidents), please complete the Public Records Request form.
• Birth or death certificates, divorce decrees, and marriage records: Visit the Wake County Register of Deeds website or call them at (919) 856-5460.

The Clerk’s Office also maintains a library of scanned public records dating back to 1909. This library is available for public review and research between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on business days in the Town Clerk’s Office at Town Hall, located at 128 S. Main Street. Please contact the Clerk’s Office to make an appointment before coming in for research so that staff may be available to assist you. If you choose to make paper copies of a record, you will be charged ten cents per page. Alternatively, you may purchase a thumb drive from the Town, and a staff member will download the records for you.

Please complete the online form with as much specificity as possible so that staff can gather the records prior to your appointment. Please be sure to include at least one method of contacting you so that we can advise you when your records are ready.
