Hammond Residents Directory
The Hammond residents directory connects you to public records kept by Tangipahoa Parish offices that serve the city. Hammond is the largest city in the parish and has its own branch offices for the Clerk of Court, Assessor, Sheriff, and Registrar of Voters. That means you can search for people, pull property data, check court case files, and look up voter info right in town. Most of these records fall under Louisiana public records law, so the search process is the same whether you go in person or look things up on the web. Knowing which office holds the file you need is the first step.

Searching the Hammond Residents Directory
There is no single system that holds all Hammond public records. Each parish office runs its own database. To do a full residents directory search, you may need to check two or three different places. Start with what you need. For property, go to the Assessor. For court cases, try the Clerk. For arrest or jail data, check the Sheriff.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Have the person's full name ready before you start
- Property lookups work best with a street address at the Assessor site
- The Clerk cannot search by address, only by name or instrument number
- Criminal searches cost $20 per name at the Clerk, or use the free computer in Amite
- The TPSO inmate roster and warrants list are free and need no account
For a thorough Hammond residents directory search, in-person visits to the branch offices can sometimes turn up records that are not yet in the online system. Older files from before the early 2000s may not be digitized. Bring a valid photo ID when you go. Under R.S. 44:32, custodians of public records must provide copies within three business days of a written request. If an office denies your request, they have to tell you why in writing.
