Your Trusted Resource for Public Records Information in Butte County

Who We Are

ButteRecords.us is an independent informational website dedicated to helping residents, researchers, legal professionals, journalists, and members of the general public navigate the world of public records in Butte County, California. We are committed to making public records information accessible, understandable, and easy to find for everyone who needs it.

We are not a government agency. ButteRecords.us is a privately operated information resource designed to serve as a comprehensive guide to the public records landscape in Butte County and the surrounding region.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to empower people with knowledge.

Public records exist to promote transparency, accountability, and informed citizenship. However, knowing where to look, what to request, and how to navigate the various agencies and offices that maintain these records can be confusing and time-consuming. That is where we come in.

ButteRecords.us was created to bridge the gap between the public and the information they have a legal right to access. We believe that an informed community is a stronger community, and we are proud to play a role in supporting that goal.
