Where to Direct a Record Request
Use the route that matches the type of Rockaway Township record needed:
- Street and parcel questions: start with the Rockaway Township Street Directory, then use the Morris County Tax Board or Clerk.
- Directory volumes and past households: use the Rockaway Township Directory Book and its library or archive links.
- One-person verification: see the Rockaway Township Resident Lookup for the appropriate official route.
- Township-held records and local requests: contact the Rockaway Township Municipal Clerk.
- Records outside an online index: direct a written request to the named custodian under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.
Rockaway Township Municipal Clerk: 65 Mount Hope Road, Rockaway, NJ 07866. Phone: 973-983-2834. Email: clerk@rockawaytownship.org. The Clerk is the township records custodian, chief elections administrator, and certified municipal registrar of vital statistics; confirm current counter hours directly with the office.
County property and older deed records: the Morris County Clerk's Records Vault and county counter are at 10 Court Street, Morristown. The Clerk lists 973-285-6747 for search assistance and Monday through Friday hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Municipal court records use the court's records-request form rather than a township OPRA form.
