Not a Government Office or Record Custodian. Melrose Residents Directory is privately operated. It cannot obtain or certify records, verify a person's address, or remove information from a public database. Send those requests to the office that keeps the record. For an emergency, call 911. Anyone experiencing stalking or harassment should contact local police.
Find the Right Melrose Custodian
These are the direct routes for common Melrose records questions:
- Address, parcel, or recorded-owner questions: use the Melrose By Street route.
- Older household and directory research: see the Melrose City Directories collections.
- A question about one named person: begin with the Melrose Resident Lookup method.
- Office and portal orientation: see the Melrose records offices section.
- An existing city document that is not online: make a specific request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law, G.L. c.66 ยง10, to its custodian.
For an existing municipal record, use the Melrose public-records portal. Melrose City Hall is at 562 Main Street, Melrose, MA 02176, with the general city number at 781-979-4500. The Assessor is on City Hall's first floor at 781-979-4104, open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. State and registry-held records should go to their own custodians instead.
