Search Middletown White Pages
The Middletown white pages let you tie a name to a real record in town. A Middletown white pages search pulls from town hall files, police reports, New Castle County property deeds, court dockets, and state vital records. Most of these are open to the public. You can look up many of them free online. The rest take a short FOIA note or a walk into Town Hall on Green Street. This page walks you through the key Middletown white pages tools and tells you where each name-based record lives.
Middletown Overview
Middletown White Pages Overview
Middletown sits in southern New Castle County. It is one of the fastest growing towns in the state. That growth means more names, more deeds, more court files, and more police reports to sort through. The Middletown white pages point you at the right office for each type of record.
The town itself runs a small set of files. These cover taxes, permits, town council work, and local licensing. Most name-based records at the town level go through Town Hall or the police records room. You can find department contacts and hours on the Town of Middletown official site, which lists council members, FOIA staff, and each town service by name.
Town Hall is at 19 W. Green Street. Hours run 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays. The main line is (302) 378-2711. Use this number for FOIA, utility questions, or a council contact.
County files cover the bigger lifts. Deeds, court cases, and voter rolls all sit with New Castle County or the state. That split is normal. A full Middletown white pages search almost always hops between town, county, and state sites. Keep each set of login details and request forms handy if you plan to pull more than a few files.
Property Records and Middletown White Pages
Property files are a core piece of any white pages search. They tie owner names to street addresses. They show deed history, tax assessments, and sales dates.
New Castle County runs the main parcel system. The New Castle County Parcel Search lets you look up any Middletown address by owner, parcel number, or location. Results include the owner on file, lot size, the year the home was built, past sale data, and tax values.
The Assessment Division sits at 87 Reads Way, New Castle, DE 19720. Phone is (302) 395-5520. The office does not take walk-in requests for certified copies without notice, so call first if you need a stamped print. The free online lookup is fine for most Middletown white pages work. You only need to pay if you want a certified page.
Deed records go through the New Castle County Document Search. Deeds, mortgages, liens, and satisfactions all show up there. You can search by grantor, grantee, or book and page. Middletown property owners appear there each time a deed is filed. The county charges per page for printed copies.
The town also runs its own tax bills. These are separate from the county tax file. Payment is handled through the Edmunds WIPP portal at http://wipp.edmundsassoc.com/Wipp23/. Bills go out August 1. They are due by September 30. Late payments add a 1.5% monthly fee. Senior owners 65 and older can apply for a discount by July 1 each year.
Note: Middletown owners get two tax bills. One comes from the town. The other comes from New Castle County. Both feed into public white pages records.
Court Cases for Middletown Residents
Court files put real names on real cases. Civil suits, small claims, traffic tickets, and criminal filings all land in the state court system. You can tie a Middletown name to a case through one main tool.
The free Delaware CourtConnect portal lets you search by party name, case number, or entity name. Middletown cases mostly fall under New Castle County. Superior Court handles felonies and big civil suits. Court of Common Pleas takes mid-level cases. The Justice of the Peace Court sits in Middletown at JP Court 11, which covers small claims and traffic matters.
CourtConnect shows docket entries, case status, filing dates, and future hearing dates. Family Court files and Court of Chancery files are not on CourtConnect. Those have to be pulled at the courthouse.
Federal cases that touch Middletown go through the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington. Bankruptcy, federal civil suits, and federal criminal cases all flow through PACER. The court's case info page is at deb.uscourts.gov/case-info. PACER charges a small fee per page. The index search itself is free.
Middletown Police Records
The Middletown Police Department keeps reports, arrests, and accident files for the town. Chief William Texter leads a force of 114 sworn officers and 25 civilian staff. The department is at 130 Hampden Road.
You can learn more about staff, programs, and the CRIMEWATCH portal on the Middletown Police Department site, which lists contacts, public notices, and how to request a report.
The non-emergency line is (302) 376-9950. Dial 911 for emergencies. Dispatch uses (302) 573-2800 for non-911 calls that still need a quick unit.
The Records Office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM. It shuts for an hour at lunch. Come with a photo ID if you plan to pick up a report. Accident reports can also be ordered online through buycrash.com, which charges a small fee per file.
Fingerprinting is offered for jobs and licensing. Cards go to the Delaware State Bureau of Identification in Dover. The SBI itself does the actual state or FBI background check after your prints clear. That larger file is covered on the state page.
Note: Arrest records and mugshots can be pulled through the CRIMEWATCH network, but most full case files still require a FOIA note to the Middletown Police Records Office.
Middletown FOIA Coordinator
If a record is not in a free portal, FOIA is the next step. Delaware's FOIA law is at 29 Del. C. §§ 10001-10006. It sets out what is public, what is closed, and the 15 business day clock for a reply.
The Town of Middletown FOIA Coordinator is Kristen Krenzer. Reach her at (302) 378-2711, extension 2223. You can also send a note through the contact page on the Middletown contact page, which has the FOIA form link and staff email.
Write out what records you want. Give dates, names, and a case number if you have one. The town must reply within 15 business days under state law. Fees may apply for copies and for staff time over 30 minutes.
Some files are not public. Personnel records are closed. Pending lawsuits are closed. Trade secrets and labor talks are closed. Most other town files are open. Police records have their own rules under 29 Del. C. § 10002, and some parts of a case file may be held back for active work.
FOIA appeals go to the Delaware Department of Justice. See the DOJ FOIA Office for the petition form. The AG reviews denials and can order release when the agency was wrong to hold a file back.
