  • Old directory volumes and past residents: use the Shelby Directory Book collections

  • Land records and copies: Cleveland County Register of Deeds, 311 East Marion Street, Room 151, Shelby, NC 28150; 704-484-4834; Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Records not available online: use the North Carolina Public Records Act route with the custodian named on the relevant page
  • County records not available online: send a written request to Cleveland County at public.information@clevelandcountync.gov or Public Records’ Request, P.O. Box 1210, Shelby, NC 28151-0120. Requests are handled in received order and may carry notice of substantial cost or time.
