Access Centerton Phone Directory

The Centerton Phone Directory connects residents with city offices, law enforcement, courts, and Benton County agencies that serve this fast-growing Northwest Arkansas community. Centerton operates under a city council form of government, and many contact listings are available online. When records are not posted publicly, Arkansas's open records law gives residents the right to request them in writing. This guide covers the main sources for finding phone numbers, office addresses, and staff contacts for Centerton and the Benton County offices that provide services to city residents.

Centerton City Government Phone Directory

City hall is the main hub for Centerton contact listings. The city council form of government means elected members set policy while city staff handles day-to-day operations. The City Clerk's Office is responsible for maintaining official city records, including ordinances, resolutions, and meeting minutes. All of these records are public under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101 et seq. and can be requested at the clerk's office or found on the city's official site.

The Centerton city government website provides a directory of departments with direct phone numbers and email contacts. Public works, code enforcement, planning, and the mayor's office are among the departments with listings. City staff changes are reflected on the site, so it is a good first stop when looking for a current contact.

Centerton has grown rapidly in recent years, and city staff has expanded along with the population. That growth means new departments and more listings than older, smaller cities. The city site keeps pace with those changes and remains the best single source for local city contacts.

Centerton Police Department Contact Lookup

The Centerton Police Department provides law enforcement for the city and maintains records of police reports, incidents, and calls for service. Residents who need a copy of a report can request it from the department's records desk. The non-emergency line and records contact info are available through the city's official website at centertonar.org.

Police records are generally public unless they involve open investigations, sealed records, or juvenile cases. Under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-105, the records custodian must respond to a written request within three business days. If a record is withheld, the agency must provide a written explanation. Inmate records for those held in Benton County are maintained by the Benton County Detention Center, which is operated by the county sheriff's office.

For broader law enforcement lookups, the Arkansas Crime Information Center maintains public safety records including the state sex offender registry. The Arkansas State Police maintains criminal history records and identification services for the state. Both are useful when local records are not enough.

Benton County Offices for Centerton Residents

Centerton is located in Benton County. County offices handle a wide range of records that city residents need to access, including property ownership records, tax data, deed recordings, and court case filings. The county-level offices operate separately from the city, and many are located in Bentonville, the county seat.

• Benton County Circuit Clerk - civil and criminal case records
• Benton County Assessor - property ownership and assessed values
• Benton County Collector - property tax payment records
• Benton County Sheriff - law enforcement and inmate records
• Benton County Recorder - deeds, mortgages, and land documents

The ARCountyData property portal provides free access to real estate records for participating counties. The ACTDataScout real property search is another online tool for looking up property ownership and tax data in Benton County. Both tools draw from official county assessor records.

For a complete list of county office contacts across all 75 Arkansas counties, the NETR Online Arkansas public records directory lists direct phone numbers for assessors, recorders, and tax collectors at the county level.

Centerton District Court and Case Records

The Centerton District Court handles traffic citations and misdemeanor cases within city limits. If you have a citation from Centerton or need to check a case status, the district court is the right office to call. The court can provide payment information, hearing dates, and case status by phone or in person.

State-level court records are searchable through the Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts case search portal. This system covers records from circuit courts, district courts, and appellate courts across all 75 counties. You can search by name, case number, or attorney for civil and criminal cases. Administrative Order 19 sets rules for what records are available through the online portal.

The Arkansas Court Case Search is a second tool that supports similar searches. Neither system returns records that have been sealed by a judge, and juvenile records are not accessible through public portals. For those, contact the clerk's office directly.

The Arkansas Judicial Branch website lists contact information for all circuit and district courts in the state, including those in Benton County that handle Centerton cases.

Centerton Phone Directory and Public Records Requests

Not every contact listing or record is posted online. When you need records that are not publicly available through a website, the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act gives you the right to request them. The law, found at Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101 et seq., covers records created or held by government agencies, including city and county offices in Centerton and Benton County.

To request records, submit a written request to the designated records custodian at the relevant agency. Under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-105, the custodian must respond within three business days. The agency must either provide the records, explain why some are exempt, or ask for more time on large requests. If the cost of fulfilling a request exceeds $25, the agency may request payment in advance under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-105(d)(3)(A)(iii).

The Arkansas FOIA portal has step-by-step guidance for submitting public records requests, understanding exemptions, and appealing denied requests. The Arkansas Attorney General can also issue advisory opinions on FOIA disputes and publishes guidance for both agencies and the public on records access.

The Arkansas Judicial Branch website is the official source for court contact information and online case search tools across the state.

The judicial branch site lists contact info for every court in Arkansas and provides access to the statewide case search portal, useful for checking case records from Centerton's district court and Benton County circuit court.
