Kannapolis Quick Facts
Kannapolis White Pages and Public Records
Kannapolis straddles two counties. Most of the city falls in Cabarrus County, but a portion extends into Rowan County. This split means public records for Kannapolis residents may be held in either county depending on the person's address. White pages searches for Kannapolis cover both areas and pull data from each county's records systems.
Under N.C.G.S. § 132-1, public records include all documents made or received by government agencies in the course of public business. This means most files at Cabarrus County and Rowan County offices are open to the public. Kannapolis white pages tap into these records to show you phone numbers, addresses, property ownership details, and court case information for people in the area.
The City of Kannapolis has its own records custodian. Pam Scaggs serves as City Clerk and handles public records requests for city government files. She attends every City Council meeting, prepares agendas, and records the official minutes. For city-level records in Kannapolis, contact the clerk's office directly.
