Looking for a Specific Record?

Choose the route that matches the record question in Desert Hot Springs:

• Street or parcel relationship: use the Desert Hot Springs street directory for APN, map, deed, permit, and address steps.
• Older names and address history: use the Desert Hot Springs city directory page for the 1893–94 county volume, libraries, archives, and regional collections.
• One person: use the Desert Hot Springs resident lookup workflow for court, vital, probate, business, license, and voter routes.
• ZIP geography: compare 92240 or 92241 with USPS, parcel, and municipal boundaries in the ZIP code directory.
• Records that are not online: send a focused request under the California Public Records Act to the custodian named on the relevant page.

For deeds, assessment ownership, county clerk documents, marriage copies, and county vital records, use the Riverside ACR locations page. The eastern-county counter listed in the research is at 38-686 El Cerrito Road in Palm Desert, with published hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; confirm the live branch page before traveling.

To request a city-created record, search prior requests or submit a scope through Desert Hot Springs NextRequest. A written request should identify the department, date range, street or APN, names, and existing record type. The California Public Records Act generally gives an agency 10 calendar days to make an initial determination, with a possible 14-day extension for unusual circumstances; production takes longer.
