Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Lancaster Residents Directory is a private reference. We cannot retrieve or certify records, verify who lives at an address, or remove a person from an official database. Send those requests to the office that maintains the record. For an emergency, call 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local law enforcement.
Find the Right Records Contact
Choose the record route that matches the question. The directory pages can narrow the source first, while the offices below handle the actual public record, request, or court file.
- Addresses and parcel context: use the Lancaster By Street directory before contacting the Town assessor or Erie County Clerk
- Older printed household sources: consult Lancaster City Directories collections and the library or archive holding the volume
- One named person: use the Lancaster Resident Lookup record path, then confirm the result with its custodian
- Office roles and links: see the Lancaster records offices reference
- Existing agency records: submit a focused request under New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, §§84-90, to the custodian that keeps the record
Erie County Clerk

Lancaster Town Court
525 Pavement Road
Lancaster, NY 14086

Ask the court clerk about a particular case type, year, and copy route. A court file may have access limits, and a statewide index is not a promise of complete local history.
