Simsbury Residents Directory Local Records

The Simsbury Town Clerk is the primary local source for public records. This office holds birth, death, and marriage records for events that occurred in Simsbury. The clerk also handles land records, trade name certificates, and notary services. Town Hall is at 933 Hopmeadow Street, Simsbury, CT 06070. Phone them at (860) 658-3200 for records questions. Visit in person for the fastest service on certified copies, but call ahead to confirm hours and which forms you should bring along.

Under CGS Section 7-51, each town clerk in Connecticut must maintain vital records and send copies to the state Department of Public Health. Simsbury follows this requirement. That gives you two places to get birth, death, and marriage records for Simsbury residents. The state office accepts mail requests if you prefer not to visit Town Hall in person. First Selectman Eric Wellman leads the town government, and the administration works through the selectman-council structure to keep town records organized and accessible.

Property records are kept by the Simsbury Assessor. The assessor tracks ownership, assessed values, and lot data for every parcel in town. The Simsbury Tax Collector shows payment records and any outstanding balances. Property data links names to addresses, so it plays a big role in the Simsbury residents directory.

Court Records for Simsbury Residents

Court records are among the strongest tools for searching the Simsbury residents directory. Connecticut operates statewide databases that pull from every court in the state. The civil and family case lookup lets you search by name and see all civil cases tied to a person. Results show the case type, court, filing date, and current status. Family cases, small claims, housing disputes, and other civil matters all appear. It is free and open to the public. No account is needed.

Criminal cases show up in separate tools. The criminal convictions database lists disposed criminal cases by defendant name. Simsbury falls in the Hartford Judicial District. Cases from this district appear in the statewide system right alongside every other district in Connecticut. You see the charges, the outcome, and which court handled it. For cases still in progress, use the pending criminal cases tool on the judicial branch site to find recent filings that have not been resolved.

The probate court lookup covers wills, estates, conservatorships, and guardianships. Simsbury probate matters go through the local probate district, and the online tool lets you search without leaving home.

Note: Under CGS Section 54-142a, Connecticut's Clean Slate law may erase certain criminal records from public view for eligible offenses.

Voter records are public under Connecticut law. Under CGS Section 9-23g, voter registration lists must be kept by each town and made available to the public.

It is a quick way to confirm someone is tied to Simsbury.

Business filings add another layer. The Connecticut Secretary of the State also runs a business records search that shows entities registered with the state.
