Straight answers

Post Falls public-records FAQs

Open only the answer you need.

Are Post Falls public records free?

Looking is free. Idaho's Public Records Act lets anyone inspect public records, the first two hours of staff time and the first 100 pages cost nothing, and copies beyond that are charged at actual cost. The iCourt Portal is free to search, a certified Idaho birth or death certificate costs $16, and county recorders charge per-page fees for deed copies.

How do I request a Post Falls police report?

Ask the Post Falls police department records clerk for reports if the city has its own force; most small Idaho towns are covered by the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, which keeps reports for the area. Crashes worked by the Idaho State Police are requested from the ISP, and Idaho Code 74-124 lets agencies withhold active investigation records.

Where can I search Post Falls court cases?

Cases filed in Kootenai County are heard by the Idaho District Court and its magistrate division for the county. The iCourt Portal on isc.idaho.gov searches Idaho trial court cases free, and the clerk of the district court sells copies of filed documents.

Where do I find property deeds, ownership and tax records?

Deeds, mortgages and plats are recorded by the Kootenai County Recorder, part of the county clerk's office. The Kootenai County Assessor sets property values, and the Kootenai County Treasurer mails tax bills by the fourth Monday in November and collects payments.

Who issues Post Falls birth, death and marriage certificates?

Idaho birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates are issued by the state Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, online through VitalChek or by mail, for $16 per copy; the bureau has no public counter. Older marriage records are also kept by the county recorder where the license was issued.

Can I search another person’s Idaho criminal history by name?

Yes. The Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification searches Idaho criminal history by name or by fingerprints on request, for a fee. The iCourt Portal also shows criminal court cases by name free.

How quickly must an Idaho agency respond to a public-records request?

Idaho agencies generally answer an Idaho resident's request within three working days and may take up to 10 working days when more time is needed. Since July 1, 2024 the Public Records Act allows up to 35 days for requests from nonresidents.
