Camas City Clerk Phone Directory

The City Clerk is the first stop in the Camas phone directory when you need a city phone. The clerk also works as the Public Records Officer.

Camas lists four ways to access records. You can browse the index, use the online records portal, fill out an online form, or go to City Hall at 616 NE 4th Avenue, Camas WA 98607. The front desk phone is 360-817-1591. That phone rolls to the clerk during city hours. Call before you mail any form. Staff can save you a trip.

Short copy jobs of up to twenty pages are free. Paper copies past that run fifteen cents per page. These fees are set under state law. The Camas phone directory for the clerk's office is the quickest way to reach the records staff when you have a question about a fee or a form.

Camas Municipal Court Phone Directory

Camas shares a court with Washougal. The joint court is called the Camas Washougal Municipal Court. It handles tickets, misdemeanors, and gross misdemeanors.

Note: Keep your case number handy. Court staff will ask for it before they look up any file.

Camas Police Phone Directory

The Camas Police Department runs its own phone lines. Dial 9-1-1 for any emergency. For non-emergency calls, the department lists a direct line on its page at city hall. The Camas phone directory for the police covers records, detectives, and the front desk. Call the records clerk first if you need a copy of a police report.

Police report copies go through the records unit. Staff can tell you if the report is ready and what the fee will be. The Public Records Act sits in RCW Chapter 42.56. It tells city staff how to respond, what to charge, and when they can deny a request. Camas police work under that law every day.
