Pelham Town public-records FAQs
Open only the answer you need.
Are Pelham Town public records free?
Inspecting records is free under New Hampshire's Right-to-Know Law, and agencies may charge only the actual cost of copies. A certified New Hampshire birth, death, marriage or divorce certificate costs $15 for the first copy and $10 for each additional copy from any city or town clerk, and registries of deeds charge statutory copy fees.
How do I request a Pelham Town police report?
Ask the Pelham police department records unit for incident and accident reports; towns without full-time police are covered by the New Hampshire State Police. Accident reports filed with the state can also be requested from the Division of Motor Vehicles.
Where can I search Pelham Town court cases?
Cases from Hillsborough County are heard by the New Hampshire Superior Court and Circuit Court for the county. The Judicial Branch's Case Access Portal lets the public look up electronically filed cases online, with registration for fuller access.
Where do I find property deeds, ownership and tax records?
Deeds and mortgages are recorded at the Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds, which offers online land records. Property in New Hampshire is assessed and taxed by the town, so the town assessor sets the value and the town tax collector sends the bill.
Who issues Pelham Town birth, death and marriage certificates?
The municipal clerk in Pelham, or any of the state's city and town clerks, issues certified birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates, $15 for the first copy and $10 for each additional copy. The Division of Vital Records Administration in Concord issues them too, to people with a direct and tangible interest.
Can I search another person’s New Hampshire criminal history by name?
Yes, for convictions. The New Hampshire State Police releases public criminal conviction history from the central repository to anyone for a fee, using its record release form. Non conviction data stays confidential.
How quickly must a New Hampshire agency respond to a public-records request?
New Hampshire agencies must respond within five business days under the Right-to-Know Law, RSA 91-A, by providing the record, denying it in writing or giving a time when it will be ready.
