City Clerk's Office

Due to COVID-19 concerns, the Clerk’s Office is currently closed to the public. Please see the City’s COVID-19 operations page for current closures and news.

The Clerk’s Office is committed to open public government and to serving you.

The City Clerk retains the official record of all formal meetings of the City Council, acts as the custodian of the City seal and official City records, and codifies all Ordinances into the Everett Municipal Code. Many of these documents can be found on our Digital Records Center.

The Clerk’s Office also oversees the business tax and licensing functions for the City, including Business & Occupation tax, gambling, admissions and utility tax. Additionally, the Clerk’s Office issues a variety of permits, including Special Events and residential and service parking, as well as animal licensing.

The Clerk’s Office is the point of contact for the public to request records. The Public Records Officer manages all public records requests on behalf of the city, excluding Police Department/Code Enforcement records.
