Bloomington Overview
Bloomington White Pages Property Search
Property records are one of the best tools for a Bloomington White Pages search. They tie names to addresses. The city has about 32,000 parcels, and each one has an owner on file. Two main tools let you look up this data for free.
The Hennepin County GIS property search at gis.hennepin.us/property covers all of Bloomington. Type in a street address with the city name and a comma between them. No zip code needed. The system shows owner names, market values, sales from the past 36 months, and property type. You can also search by a 13-digit Property ID number if you have one. Map layers let you see survey data, sale prices, and whether the title is abstract or Torrens. Black text marks comparable sales and red marks excluded ones. This tool pulls data from the Hennepin County Assessor's office and gets updates at least once a year.
Bloomington also runs its own CityView Property Locator. This portal links to permit history and city-level property data. It has an interactive ArcGIS map where you can click on parcels. Start typing an address in the Location Description field and wait for the dropdown to show matches. Select one and the system pulls up permit records tied to that parcel. The CityView portal is useful when you need to see what work has been done on a property or who pulled permits there.
The Bloomington Assessor's Office manages property values for the city. Every property gets visited by an appraiser at least once every five years. They use sales data, construction quality, and market trends to set values. You can reach them at 952-563-8724 or by email at assessing@BloomingtonMN.gov.
The official Bloomington website shows city property and permit data through their CityView portal.

Police Records for Bloomington White Pages
Bloomington has several ways to get police data. The city runs its own systems separate from the county.
The BPD Data Dashboard posts weekly activity reports as PDF files. These reports cover traffic accidents, case numbers, and registered owners or drivers involved in crashes. Data stays online for 12 weeks before it rolls off. The dashboard also lists master incident numbers that you can use to request full reports. This is a good starting point for any Bloomington White Pages search that involves police contact or accident records.
For copies of police reports, accident reports, 911 call transcripts, body-worn camera video, or background checks, use the JustFOIA portal. Click "New Request" and then "Make a request" under the Police Data Request Form. Fill out the form with as much detail as you can. After you submit, save your request number and security key. You need both to check on your request and pick up records later. If you are the subject of the data, the city has 10 business days to respond. Non-subject requests may take longer.
Local background checks through the Bloomington Police Department only cover Bloomington records. For a full state check, contact the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at 651-793-2400 or use the BCA Criminal History Search online.
Note: The Bloomington Police records line is 952-563-8592 or email PoliceRecords@bloomingtonmn.gov for data release questions.
Bloomington White Pages Court Records
Bloomington falls under the Hennepin County District Court in the 4th Judicial District. All court cases for Bloomington residents go through this court. The main courthouse is at the Hennepin County Government Center, 300 South 6th Street in Minneapolis.
Search Bloomington court records for free through Minnesota Court Records Online. You can look up cases by person name, case number, or attorney name. Results show party names, case type, hearing dates, and docket entries. Public documents filed after July 1, 2015 are free to view and download. For older records or certified copies, contact the Court Administrator. The Bloomington City Attorney's office handles prosecution of non-felony adult cases like DUI, simple assault, shoplifting, disorderly conduct, and traffic offenses. Felony cases go to the Hennepin County Attorney at 612-348-5550. Juvenile matters go to the county juvenile division at 612-348-7916.
The Hennepin County court page on the Minnesota Judicial Branch site has hours and contact details for the courthouse.
Bloomington Public Data Access
Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, most city data in Bloomington is public. You don't have to give your name or say why you want the records. Anyone can ask for public data from any city department.
Bloomington has a central Data Practices Center that handles requests across all departments. Police data goes through JustFOIA. Other departments take written requests. You can get records from Building and Inspection (code violations, permits, plans), Engineering (as-builts, site plans, traffic data), Environmental Health (complaints, inspection reports, well records), Fire (incident reports, code violations), Licensing (business licenses, rental properties), Planning (site plans, zoning violations), and Utilities (permits, wastewater data). Viewing records in person is usually free. Copies may have a small fee.
The city website puts a lot of data out without needing a formal request. Check the various department pages first before filing a data practices request.
Bloomington White Pages Maps and GIS
Bloomington runs more than a dozen interactive maps. These add depth to a White Pages search.
The city's interactive maps index at bloomingtonmn.gov includes tools for planning, zoning, construction projects, crime data, development projects, parking restrictions, and more. The planning map has layers for airport height limits, council districts, guide plan land use, historic sites, parcels, zoning areas, and wireless antenna sites. You can turn layers on and off at the bottom of the map. The crime map uses RAIDS Online to show incidents by location and type. The development map shows projects under review, approved, under construction, and recently done.
For property-level data, the Hennepin County GIS map at gis.hennepin.us/property remains the best option. It shows ownership, tax values, and sales history for every parcel in Bloomington.
Note: GIS maps are for general reference only and should not be used for legal, engineering, or surveying purposes.
Bloomington White Pages Business Records
Bloomington has no general business license. The city only requires licenses for specific activities listed in the city code. This means you won't find a single registry of all businesses in town.
The business licensing page lists all license types that the City Clerk's Office issues. These include food establishments, liquor licenses, rental property licenses, pawnbrokers, massage businesses, tobacco sales, body art shops, and secondhand goods dealers. Rental licensing covers single-family homes, duplexes, condos, townhouses, and multi-unit buildings. If you are doing a Bloomington White Pages search to find who runs a licensed business, the City Clerk's office can help. Rental license records can tell you who owns and manages rental properties at specific addresses.
The Bloomington business licensing page on the city website lists all license types required by city code. Contact businesslicensing@bloomingtonmn.gov for more details.
Bloomington Permit Records
Building permits tie contractors and property owners to specific work at an address. Bloomington no longer accepts paper permit applications. Everything goes through the online portal at permits.bloomingtonmn.gov.
The city has two permit systems. The current system covers permits since January 30, 2017. Application numbers start with "PR" and are 13 characters long. You can search these by property address through the Property Locator. The legacy system covers permits from December 7, 1998 through January 29, 2017. Those use a 7-digit permit number. You need the number to search the old system. Call 952-563-8930 if you don't have the number. Monthly building reports get posted by the 5th of each month with permit stats and trends.
- Building, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits
- Driveway and fire suppression permits
- Fee schedules posted on the city website
- Inspection results available online
- Contact inspections at 952-563-8930
How to Search Bloomington White Pages
A thorough Bloomington White Pages search uses several sources. Start with what you know and work outward.
If you have a name, begin with court records at Minnesota Court Records Online. Set the county to Hennepin. That gives you case history for Bloomington and the rest of the county. Next, run a property search at gis.hennepin.us/property to check if they own land in the area. Then try the BCA criminal history search for state-level records. If you need police reports or accident data from Bloomington specifically, use the BPD Data Dashboard or submit a JustFOIA request.
If you have an address but no name, the property search tools work in reverse. Enter the address and see who owns it. From there, cross-check the owner name against court records and other databases. The CityView portal can show permit history for that address too, which may list contractors or property managers tied to the location.
