Auburn sits in both King and Pierce counties, though most city work falls under King County. That split matters for court records. If a case was filed in Pierce County, you call the Pierce County clerk. If it was filed in King County, call the King County clerk. The Auburn phone directory at city hall does not cover county court files, but the clerk can tell you which county holds the case you want.

The Auburn Police page has the full phone directory for the department. The police records unit at 253-931-3080 handles report copies, crash reports, and call logs. Staff can check if a report has cleared and give you the fee by phone. Many short reports arrive by email at no cost. Longer files or video may need a drive or a disc.

Copy fees follow state rules. Paper is 15 cents per page. Electronic files may have a smaller per-page cost. In-person inspection is free. The clerk may ask you to pay up front if the total will be more than a few dollars. Keep your receipt for your own file.
