Attleboro Overview
Attleboro City Clerk Records
The Attleboro City Clerk office is located at City Hall, 77 Park Street. The phone number is 508-223-2222 (press ext. 3111 or 3113). Kathleen Jackson serves as City Clerk and also acts as the primary Records Access Officer for the city. The office handles birth, death, and marriage records along with the annual census, voter registration, and business licensing. Most Attleboro residents directory searches start right here.
Office hours run Monday from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, Tuesday from 8 AM to 6 PM with extended hours, Wednesday and Thursday from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, and Friday from 8 AM to noon. The Tuesday late hours are helpful if you work a standard schedule and need to visit in person. Certified copies of vital records cost $10 each. For in-person visits, you can pay with cash, check, or credit card. Mail requests accept only certified checks or money orders. The clerk processes mail requests the same day they arrive, which is faster than many comparable offices in the state.

Attleboro Residents Census
Attleboro runs its annual census as required by M.G.L. c.51 §4. Each household gets a form to fill out. The city compiles the data into a street listing that shows names and addresses sorted by road. This list is one of the most direct tools in the Attleboro residents directory. It tells you who lives where as of January 1 of that year.
The street list is a public record under M.G.L. c.51 §6 for people age 17 and older. You can buy a copy from the City Clerk. Prices generally fall between $15 and $25. The census also ties into voter registration. Residents who do not return their census form may get flagged for removal from the voter rolls. Because of this connection, the street list captures a high share of the adult population in Attleboro.
Public Records in Attleboro
Under M.G.L. c.66 §10, Attleboro must respond to public records requests within 10 business days. Kathleen Jackson handles these as the Records Access Officer. You can submit requests in person at City Hall, by mail, or via email at cityclerk@cityofattleboro.us. The city maintains a range of documents beyond vital records, including permits, licensing files, meeting minutes, and correspondence. These types of records often come up during a residents directory search when you need more than just a name and address.
Standard state fees apply. Black and white copies run $0.05 per page. The first two hours of search time are free. After that, the city can bill up to $25 per hour. Most straightforward requests cost nothing beyond the copy fees. If you are asking for something big or complex, the clerk will tell you the expected cost before they proceed.
The Attleboro Police Department also accepts public records requests for police-related documents. You can reach them at publicrecords@attleboropolice.org. Police reports, incident logs, and other law enforcement records fall under their control rather than the City Clerk's.
Attleboro Directory Resources
The Massachusetts Land Records portal provides access to deed and property records across the state, including filings in Bristol County where Attleboro is located.
Land and property records are a strong secondary source for the Attleboro residents directory. They link owner names to specific addresses in the city. If someone owns property in Attleboro, their name shows up in the Bristol County Registry records tied to that parcel. This data is especially useful when combined with the annual street list and vital records from the City Clerk.
Bristol County Registry
The Bristol County Registry of Deeds maintains an office right in Attleboro at 75 Park Street, the same block as City Hall. This is one of three Bristol County registry districts. Deed transfers, mortgages, and liens for the Attleboro area are all recorded here. The online portal is free to search by name or address. You can find current and past property owners, see when parcels changed hands, and check for liens or encumbrances tied to an address.
Property records add a layer to the Attleboro residents directory that vital records and census data do not cover. They show ownership history over time. If someone sold a home in Attleboro five years ago, the deed records will still show that transaction. This kind of trail can help when you are trying to trace where someone lived or moved within the city.
Under M.G.L. c.234A §15, juror lists are public records too. These lists draw from resident census data and can help verify who lives at a given address. Between the census, property records, and juror lists, Attleboro has several overlapping sources that feed into the residents directory.
