City of Kansas City, Jackson County, MO Public Records

• How do I contact the owner of 530 Allen Court, Raymore, Missouri, where I live?
  Raymore is in Cass county, which has a free public search for properties on their assessor's site. Look for Cass county's official site. On the left of their home page, you can see a list of searches and services. The fourth one, "Real Estate Search," will take you to a query form where you can enter the property's information. You can enter the street name (Allen) and city name (Raymore), which will let you get an expanded number of results and pick the proper matching record. Narrowing your search with additional information, such as the street number, can unintentionally skip the record you're interested in. You can search as many times as you wish; there's no cost. You can also see photos of the properties once the record is found. At the top is the deed holder's information, including their mailing address.

• Where can I find if I, as an independent contractor, have had my background checked before being hired?
  There's a lot of personal information about all of us. Businesses are no different, whether their activity, better business bureau, license lookup, or else. Also, businesses do not have the same protections as individuals. Personal information is not the same as private information; private information is protected as opposed to confidential information, which can be simply an address.

• Where can I find the age of the population?
  If the census data has information broken down by persons under five years, under 18 years, and persons 65 years, you can subtract the rest from the total population. News wires release statistical data from time to time, but the source may still be the census for parts of their reports.

• Where can I find historical information on 2755 Cherry Street?
  Suppose there's no luck with land or property records or history. You can search the library local to that area. Libraries have microfilm of historical publications, and the library's resources can sometimes be searched online before going there. You can also find the contact number and ask before visiting the physical location. Many librarians are familiar with and accustomed to helping researchers find what they need.

• Where can I find access to incident reports and deaths at a specific address or location?
  Crime maps show incidents occurring by area. You can see some information but not the complete report. You may have to go through the proper procedures set by the law enforcement agency to obtain a report. Police records are public, and many entities have a public information officer appointed to be in charge of the requests; however, the procedures for providing the data are not described in the law and, therefore, up to the individual department. Crime maps get their information from the law enforcement agency. The next best thing is to search for local publications that may have covered the story. Reporters/journalists often request the crime report from the police and use the data when reporting what happened.

• Where can I find out if divorces are public records?
  Public records have limitations to protect against privacy violations. However, they are still considered public records. Background checks are comprised of public records to provide a complete search. Other than looking for criminal records, some companies check the state's court cases. Obtaining case information for a private individual can be as simple as accessing the state's court system online for free case look-up. In Missouri, the department of health (which has maintained a central registry of marriages and divorces since July 1, 1948) states that the individual or guardian can only obtain vital records or another legal party; if you are in this group, here is a link where certified copies can be ordered.
