Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk

I called their number and didn’t have to wait to long. The guy who answered the phone was super friendly and patient. I would recommend having something to write on as the give you a confirmation number. He was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed as well as answered my questions. Overall very easy to make an appointment.

Came with my son not to long ago to purchase a new birth certificate for him. The parking was just okay. The service from this department was extremely fast and professional. We were in and out within 15 minutes from start to finish. Wish everything else went this smooth!

Whoever is answering there phone for marriage license appointments is horrible. She was terribly rude from the moment she said her first word. She never gave me her name. She belittled me because I asked her what days she had available. I thought I was making things easier for her than keep running off dates and she tells me nothings available. I have a very flexible schedule to work with, but no! she had to make me feel stupid for asking her that kind of question. Once I gave her a date and time, she rambled off a confirmation number, which I had no idea she was going to give, she didn’t inform me, so she gave me attitude because I told her «wow. hold on.» I was a little frustrated with her. She didn’t even ask me if I had any questions or if she could help me with anything else. I did kindly tell her to have a great day and she hung up on me. I really hope, my appointment will be a lot more pleasant than whoever is running your directory. I pretty sure she has a hard job, but I would never treat people the way she treated me. I really do hope she was just having a bad day and this is not the normal way she treats all incoming calls.

Been in here multiple times for notary services. They got it down. In and out quickly and always helpful.

Marriage Licenses. This Department has zero accountability and DISCRIMINATED against us by not providing correct information for me and my fiancé. I called this Department from July 2012 until February 2013 requesting information on how to be married in our home without making a trek downtown. Both my partner and I had cancer and he was disabled. Each and every time I called, I was told we had to go downtown in PERSON. I informed them that many people had told there was a way to get married in the home without going downtown. Not possible is all I heard. Then my fiancé ended up in the hospital and his cancer had spread. The Social Worker found us a way to be married in the hospital. A minister who was able to notarize our signatures was arranged to marry us on Friday. My fiancé slipped into a coma on Wednesday and we were unable to marry. This is a huge financial and emotional burden now that he passed away. I would like to find an attorney to file a suit. I will tell you that the Real Estate Department/​Tax Assessors Department is doubling my Property Taxes because we were not married. We knew we had to get married to protect me from this. I lost my fiancé and now I may lose my home. I wanted to have his name and keep my home.
Amazing how EFFICIENT the Property Tax Department is operating (they did not miss a beat coming after me for more money) but just down the hall, the Marriage Department can operate without accountability.
IF there is anyone who can recommend a lawyer to help me, please contact me through this site.

Called them on two occasions to have some property questions answered. Got through to «a real person» quickly each time. The lady who helped me was friendly and helpful with her answers. Some expressions on the form that were a tad misleading etc. for which I am deducting one star. But over all, great service.

Went here to get our marriage license.
Make sure you setup an appointment or else you can end up waiting in line all day.
Free parking just out front for 2 hours. It should be plenty of time.
Nice ocean views while you’re walking or waiting around.

Service here is excellent, people are nice, fees are reasonable. I came here to get my dads death certificate. Not a fun job but the person who served me was sensitive and caring. If the DMV is hell the county clerks office is heaven.

Petty good I say. Most times I go here it is pretty easy with no really long lines. The people are nice and personable when I have gone and it is clean I really dont know what else to say…

They doubled their fees to pay for the new water display they’re going to build. Geez!

Always helpful.
Very nice, down to earth.
Super pleasant people working.
Never a long wait, even if you didnt schedule an appointment!
They thought it was just as rad as I did, to become an Ordained Officiant and take it to this level to get certified by the State too! Now for my friends wedding to just hurry up and get here, so I can marry them! I’m super honored and excited to of been asked to do this for the soon to be married couple!
PS by The Way — So you wanna get married? Lemme know! hah!

This is the first GOV’T agency that isn’t impossible to deal with! Yay! As long as you make an appt. for a marriage license, you can be in and out of here quickly, and the employees are friendly and don’t seem upset about helping you.
The only issue is that the wait time to make an appointment (via phone) is insane. I was on hold for literally 35 minutes waiting for someone to answer. That part was terrible, but once someone did answer, the appointment was made quickly and easily.

Staff is very well organized and friendly!!!

If all government office buildings were ran like this, I think less people would groan when they have to go to one.
I went here a couple of weeks ago to pick up my marriage license (yay!). A few days beforehand I called and made an appointment (REMEMBER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, AS IT IS REQUIRED FOR MARRIAGE LICENSES). The gentleman on the phone took care of us and less than five minutes on the phone we had a 9:00am appointment that Friday.
They have a parking lot adjacent to the building so you don’t have to worry about meter parking.
The staff at the entrance with the metal detector were very friendly and were kind enough to point us in the direction we needed to go. We accidentally entered into the wrong office, but the staff were able to point out the correct office and we were on our way. We checked in with the front desk and in less than five minutes we were helped by a clerk employee. As she was typing up our license, she talked to us and was so nice and personable. We paid our $ 50 and in less than an hour total (including parking our car) we had our marriage license.

I had to check up on some liens on a property. I went to this office and found many terminals, at least two free even though it was the busy lunchtime slot. Also, a staff member came over to ask what I needed and gave me a quick tutorial. It was great! Keep up the good work!

I have gotten pretty excited about reviewing government agencies lately.
It is normally such an ordeal to work with a bureaucracy like this. I wanted to find out if the name on the title of my home had been changed so I sent an email guessing that if I was lucky they would know what forms I would have to fill out in triplicate and wait 60 days for processing.
They actually emailed me back first thing the next morning with the answer to my question. I am shocked. You don’t have a choice who you deal with for things like this, but I want them to know they are doing a fantastic job. I hope they get an award!
