Start with the office that created the record. The City of Lompoc handles municipal documents and records from its police department. Santa Barbara County handles Superior Court cases, recorded property documents, assessments, tax bills, county vital records and jail custody.
California’s statewide criminal-history system is not a public name-search tool: the Department of Justice allows individuals to request their own fingerprint-based record review. For another person’s case history, use the relevant court and local agency sources, subject to privacy, sealing and access rules.
Two local exceptions: Lompoc Unified School District is a separate public agency, and FCI Lompoc is a federal facility. Requests for those records go to LUSD or the Federal Bureau of Prisons—not to the City Clerk.
How this directory is maintained: government sources are placed first, agency ownership is explained in plain language, and outbound links are periodically checked. PublicRecordCenter.com is an independent directory and is not a government agency.

Inspecting records is free under the California Public Records Act, and agencies may charge only the direct cost of duplication, with electronic copies often free. Superior court case indexes and county recorder document searches are free to look up, while a certified California birth certificate costs about $31 at county recorders after the January 1, 2026 fee change.
Use the Lompoc Police Department Records Bureau page. It provides the current report request form, contact information, delivery options and fee details.
Start with the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara Case Records Search. Some records or document images are restricted from remote display and may require an in-person visit or copy request.
Use the Santa Barbara County Assessor for parcel and assessed-value information, the Clerk-Recorder for deeds and other recorded documents, and the Treasurer-Tax Collector for tax bills and payments.
The Santa Barbara County Clerk-Recorder maintains county birth, death and marriage records. The California Department of Public Health also maintains statewide vital records. Eligibility, identification and notarization requirements depend on the record and copy type.
California DOJ criminal-history summary records are not a public name-search database. Individuals may request their own record review by fingerprint. For a specific case, search the appropriate county court and local agency records.
California agencies generally have 10 days to determine whether a request seeks disclosable records and notify the requester. A limited extension may apply in unusual circumstances. The records themselves may take longer to review and produce.
