Duluth White Pages Search
Duluth White Pages searches pull from court records, property files, and other public data kept by St. Louis County and the state of Minnesota. As the county seat of St. Louis County, Duluth is home to one of three county courthouses and several government offices that hold the records behind a solid people search. About 92,000 people live in the city, which sits on the western tip of Lake Superior. You can look up names, check court cases, find property owners, and view jail rosters using free tools run by the county and the state. This page walks you through the key Duluth White Pages databases, what they show, and how to use them.
Duluth Overview
Duluth White Pages Court Records
Court records are one of the best sources for a Duluth White Pages search. The St. Louis County District Court handles civil, criminal, family, and probate cases for Duluth and the rest of the county. St. Louis County is the largest county in Minnesota by land area. It is also unique because it has three courthouses. The main one in Duluth sits at 100 North 5th Avenue West. You can reach the court at (218) 726-2460.
You can search Duluth court records for free through Minnesota Court Records Online. The system covers all 87 counties in the state. Enter a first and last name to find cases filed in St. Louis County or anywhere else in Minnesota. Results show party names, case type, case status, hearing dates, and docket entries. Public documents filed after July 1, 2015 are available to view and download at no charge. For older filings or certified copies, you need to contact the Court Administrator at the Duluth courthouse directly.
Some case types have limits on what shows online. Family court records, domestic abuse cases, and juvenile files may not appear in a name search due to state and federal privacy rules. If you need records from a restricted case, call the court or visit in person.
Note: Domestic abuse and harassment cases do not appear in online court searches due to federal law restrictions.
Property Records in Duluth
Property records tie people to addresses. That makes them a key part of any Duluth White Pages lookup. The city runs its own property search tool through the eTrakit system at etrakit.duluthmn.gov. You can search by site address, owner name, or status. The tool pulls up parcel data, owner names, and property details for parcels within city limits.
St. Louis County also keeps property records at the county level. The St. Louis County Parcel Tax Lookup lets you search by address, parcel ID, lake name, plat, or section-township-range. It shows assessment values, taxable value, and tax roll data for every parcel in the county. The county assessor can be reached at 218-726-2383 for questions about property values or tax records.
The St. Louis County Recorder's office keeps deed records, mortgages, and liens. You can reach them at 218-726-2559 for copies of recorded documents. These records show who owns what, and they can help verify names and addresses you find through other Duluth White Pages tools.

Duluth White Pages Criminal Search
Criminal records in Duluth come from two main sources. The BCA Criminal History Search covers the whole state. Enter a first and last name to check for criminal history. Date of birth helps narrow results but is not required. The BCA notes that their search should not be used as a substitute for a formal background check. Two people can share a name, so always verify what you find.
The county-level option is to search through MCRO with the county set to St. Louis. This shows criminal cases filed in St. Louis County District Court. Keep in mind that cases without a conviction may not show in a name search. You would need the case number to find those.
The St. Louis County Sheriff also runs a jail roster online. It shows who is currently in custody at the county jail. The roster lists names, booking dates, and charges. You can search by name or scroll through the full list. The sheriff can be reached at 218-726-2341 for general inquiries, or call the jail directly at 218-726-2345.

Duluth White Pages City Resources
The City of Duluth runs several online tools that can help with a White Pages search. The city website is the starting point for most of these. You can find permit records, city clerk data, and other public files through its departments.
Duluth also runs a Resident Problem Reporter at rpr-duluthmn.hub.arcgis.com. This is the city's 311-style service request system powered by SeeClickFix. Launched in March 2022, it lets residents report non-emergency issues like potholes, sewer problems, and street maintenance needs. The system shows an interactive map of reported issues around Duluth. It tracks ticket status and location and lets people attach photos. While this tool is not a people search, it can show activity tied to specific addresses.

The city clerk's office handles data practices requests for Duluth. Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, most government data is public. You do not have to give your name or say why you want the records. The clerk's office also manages election records, campaign financial reports, and domestic partner registrations. Visit duluthmn.gov/city-clerk for more details on available records.
Duluth Building Permits and Records
Duluth's Construction Services and Inspections department keeps permit records that can help with a White Pages search. Permit data shows who pulled a building permit, the property address, and the type of work done. You can look up permit or property history through the city's online portal at duluthmn.gov/csi.
The ePlace permitting system handles online applications for building permits, trade permits, and plan reviews. The system requires an account for full access, but you can search permit history without logging in. The department is located at City Hall, Room 100, at 411 West First Street. Call 218-730-5240 for questions about permits or property history. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM.
The official City of Duluth website provides access to permits, public records, and other city services.
How to Search Duluth White Pages
A thorough Duluth White Pages search uses more than one source. Start with what you know and work out from there.
If you have a name, search court records first through MCRO. That gives you case history in St. Louis County and across the state. Next, check property records at the county parcel lookup to see if they own property in the Duluth area. Then run a BCA criminal history check for state-level criminal data. If you need vital records like birth or death certificates, the St. Louis County Recorder or the Minnesota Department of Health can help.
If you have an address but not a name, the property search tool works in reverse. Enter the address and the system shows who owns that property. From there you can cross-reference the owner name against court records and other databases.
- Court records: free online via MCRO
