Find Salt Lake City Phone Directory
The Salt Lake City Phone Directory helps you reach city hall, public safety, permits, public services, and city recorder contacts without sorting through unrelated county or state pages first. Salt Lake City keeps a broad city directory online, but the most useful lines are often the direct numbers for the police records desk, the city recorder, and department counters that handle day-to-day service questions. This page brings those Salt Lake City contacts together so you can search by office, service, or records need and start with the right number.
Salt Lake City Directory Facts
Salt Lake City Phone Directory Basics
The city's official Salt Lake City directory is the best place to start when you need a broad Salt Lake City Phone Directory search. It lists boards and commissions, budget, building inspections, building permits, public services, and other city units in one place. That matters because city calls in Salt Lake City can easily drift into county or state territory if you start with a vague search term. The city directory keeps the search local. It also gives you a quick way to confirm whether an issue belongs with a city counter or a different government office.
The city directory is especially useful when you know the type of service but not the exact office name. Building Inspections uses 801-535-7224. Building Permits uses 801-535-7968. Public Services uses 801-535-7116 and keeps weekday hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Those direct entries turn a broad Salt Lake City Phone Directory search into a workable city contact plan. The page is not just a list. It is a routing tool for real calls.
This Salt Lake City directory page is the clearest visual starting point for the city search because it places department names and public numbers in the same frame.
Use the city directory first when you need to confirm a department name, a public line, or a city hall service desk before making a call.
Salt Lake City Police Phone Directory
Police and records questions often drive Salt Lake City Phone Directory searches, and the city keeps those contacts more clearly than many places. The official Salt Lake City Police contact page lists Non-Emergency at 801-799-3000, General Information at 801-799-3100, the Records Service Desk at 801-799-3101, Community Outreach at 801-799-3367, Evidence and Property at 801-799-3041, and airport police business at 801-575-2470. The page also ties those numbers to real locations, including the Public Safety Building at 475 South 300 East and the Pioneer Precinct at 1040 West 700 South.
The police records desk is one of the most useful direct lines on this page because it saves callers from starting at the wrong city counter. If your question is about a report, a records request, or a police file, the Records Service Desk is more useful than the broad city hall line. Salt Lake City keeps that distinction clear. That is exactly what a strong city phone directory should do.
The Salt Lake City Police contact page is also the source for the image below, which shows the public safety side of the Salt Lake City Phone Directory.
The police image helps separate emergency and non-emergency city contacts from the broader city directory so callers can reach the correct desk faster.
Salt Lake City Phone Directory Records
For city records outside police files, the City Recorder's Office is a key part of the Salt Lake City Phone Directory. Research for this page places the City Recorder at City Hall, 451 South State Street, Room 135, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, with a public line of 801-535-6300. The city accepts GRAMA requests online, by mail, by email at cityrecorder@slc.gov, by fax at 801-535-6302, or in person during business hours. That makes the city recorder one of the most important contacts on this page for anyone searching city records, meeting materials, or request procedures.
Salt Lake City's request workflow fits within Utah's GRAMA framework. The law at Utah Code Title 63G Chapter 2 controls access to public, private, controlled, and protected records. The city explains that many requests can be filed online through its records process, but some files still need review time, redactions, or fee calculation. That means the best Salt Lake City Phone Directory page is the one that tells you which line starts the process and which office owns the response.
If your search touches library records, the city's GRAMA and privacy material also matters. Research for this project notes that library patron records are private under Utah law, which is why not every city-held record can be released over the phone. Salt Lake City keeps that line visible through its public records process instead of hiding it in small print.

Salt Lake City Department Contacts
Department-level numbers matter because Salt Lake City residents often need a service office, not a legal process. The city directory gives direct access to public services, building, budget, and other administrative units in a way that keeps the search short. If your call is about permits, inspections, or a city service request, use the city department name first. That makes the Salt Lake City Phone Directory much more useful than a plain search for "city hall."
The same rule applies when a question looks local but may not belong with city hall. A police report belongs with police records. A broad public records request belongs with the city recorder. A service issue often belongs with the listed city department. Salt Lake City's official pages make those lanes clear, which is why the city is a good model for a directory page built from local research instead of filler text.
Salt Lake City also publishes a privacy and accessibility page at slc.gov privacy statement and accessibility that explains how personally identifiable information is handled across city web services. That is worth linking here because it clarifies the limits on what a caller can expect from a public records or public service search.
Salt Lake City Phone Directory Search Tips
A short, focused search usually works best in Salt Lake City. Use the office name, then add the service. Search for "Salt Lake City recorder," "Salt Lake City police records," or "Salt Lake City building permits" rather than just "Salt Lake City phone directory." The city's official pages are organized well enough that a specific office search normally lands on the right result. That is the fastest way to avoid county pages and unrelated third-party directories.
It also helps to know when to stop searching and call. Once you have the office name and the public line, a direct call is usually more useful than reading several directory pages in a row. Salt Lake City publishes enough public numbers that a well-aimed phone call can confirm hours, counters, forms, and the next step without much delay. The point of the directory is not to collect every number. It is to identify the one that owns the answer.
Note: If the first city line cannot solve the issue, ask which department created the record or owns the service before you end the call.
Salt Lake County Phone Directory
Salt Lake City sits inside Salt Lake County, and some calls that start at city hall move to county departments instead. Use the county page below when the service belongs to a county office rather than a city office.
