Property records in New Haven come from two offices. The Assessor's Office keeps data on all properties in the city. Ownership, assessed value, and property class are all on file.

Connecticut law requires town clerks to keep vital records. Under CGS Section 7-51, the New Haven clerk files copies of all records with the state too. Some records have access restrictions based on who is asking and their connection to the person on file.

The probate court lookup covers estate cases, guardianships, and conservatorships. New Haven has its own probate district, and these records are searchable through the statewide tool. Probate records can help trace family ties and property transfers for New Haven residents.
