For a current Calabasas directory search, start with the narrowest official source that matches the clue. A school name points to Las Virgenes Unified, Calabasas High, or the California Department of Education. A public agency clue points to the city, county, or state directory. A parcel or old address points to the Assessor, RR/CC recorder index, LAPL directories, and the Calabasas Library history collection. A business or professional clue points to the Secretary of State, Los Angeles County fictitious business name filings, DCA, or a board-specific license directory.
Government Directories for Calabasas Contacts
The City of Calabasas does not expose a crawlable, citywide staff search in the research set, but city pages still work as small official directories. The City Clerk page identifies clerk staff and describes records access, local election duties, Maddy Act appointment lists, conflict-of-interest code material, FPPC filing routes, and city records responsibilities. Department pages add practical contacts such as BuildingSafetyInfo@cityofcalabasas.com and the Building and Safety phone number, while the city contact page gives the Civic Center address and main phone.
County and state directories broaden the search beyond city hall. Los Angeles County's department directory lists department heads, addresses, phone and fax numbers, contact emails, and agency websites. The California State Controller's California Personnel Office Directory, or CPOD, is narrower but useful: it identifies state personnel office staff, phone numbers, email addresses, physical or mailing addresses, and agency codes for state departments and campuses.
The California State Controller CPOD page is the successful manifest source for the state personnel directory screenshot.
Use CPOD when the Calabasas clue involves a state agency, campus, personnel office, or department code rather than a city or county employee.
| City staff path | City Clerk page, department pages, city contact page, and City Clerk records request routes. |
|---|---|
| County path | Los Angeles County department directory for department heads, agency addresses, phone, fax, emails, and websites. |
| State path | CPOD for state personnel office names, phone numbers, emails, department addresses, and agency codes. |
| Fallback | Use the department main line or a focused public-records request when a named contact is not listed. |
Calabasas School and Education Directories
Education directories are among the strongest current Calabasas people directories. Las Virgenes Unified School District serves Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Bell Canyon, and Westlake Village. The California Department of Education district entry lists LVUSD at 4111 Las Virgenes Road, Calabasas, CA 91302-1929, with phone (818) 880-4000, superintendent Dr. Daniel Stepenosky, and other official contacts. The CDE Calabasas High entry confirms school administrative data and links the school to the statewide education directory system.
Calabasas High School has the richest inspected staff directory. Its public contact page lists the campus at 22855 Mulholland Highway, phone (818) 222-7177, main fax (818) 223-8477, principal Bennett Wutkee, and a keyword staff directory. Visible sample entries included Erick Aldana, Custodian; Jonathan Aldana, Custodian; Kerrie Allen, Teacher, Culinary Arts, with a View Website link; Michelle Amar, Counseling Secretary; Rani Amar, Campus Supervisor; and Karen Angulo Orozco, Cafeteria/Campus Supervisor.
The Calabasas High School contact page supplied the successful manifest image for the keyword staff directory.
This directory is useful when the known clue is a campus role, name fragment, subject area, or public school contact rather than a residential address.
| Calabasas High field | Type | How it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword | Search text | Filters staff entries by a name, role, or other keyword. |
| Staff entry name | Result field | Shows the listed person, such as a teacher, secretary, or campus staff member. |
| Role or title | Result field | Connects the person to a campus function inside the school directory. |
| Contact field | Provides a public school contact where the page exposes one. | |
| View Website | Optional link | Appears for some staff and may add course or public classroom context. |
| Name | Displayed in the staff entry, such as Erick Aldana or Kerrie Allen in the inspected examples. |
|---|---|
| Role | Examples included Custodian, Teacher, Counseling Secretary, Campus Supervisor, and Cafeteria/Campus Supervisor. |
| Visible for many staff entries when published by the school. | |
| Optional page | Some faculty entries include a View Website link. |
| School context | Calabasas High, 22855 Mulholland Highway, principal, phone, and fax are part of the page context. |
Public Records That Work Like Calabasas Directories
Some public records are not called directories, but they function like name indexes. The Los Angeles County RR/CC real-estate index is the clearest example. The recorder pages say Los Angeles County real estate records are maintained from 1850 or 1851 to the present and indexed alphabetically by name and year recorded. At Norwalk, records from 1851-1957 are reviewed in the lower level and 1958-present records on the second floor. The office does not accept telephone index searches.
That name/year index can connect Calabasas grantors and grantees to deeds, trust deeds, reconveyances, liens, releases, notices, and related recorded documents. Mail and fax copy requests require the title of the document, names listed on the document, and the recording year or years to search. The page also needs a careful caveat: the research did not verify a full free official online grantor-grantee interface in crawlable text, so the sound directory description is in-person name/year index plus copy-request pathways.
Court indexes are another directory-like record set. Los Angeles Superior Court PAOS can search civil, small claims, family law, and probate party names and show litigant names, case type, filing date, filing location, and available imaged document count. That is useful for probate or civil identity questions, but it is a paid name search and confidential or sealed material may not appear. For the access-law details behind these systems, use the dedicated Calabasas public records guide.
Property Roll and GIS Directories Around Calabasas
The Los Angeles County Assessor portal and map search are address-first directories. Official snippets and captured research show search by AIN or address, plus a map interface with Assessor Parcels, Supervisorial Districts, Cities, Communities, ZIP Codes, School Districts, and related layers. For Calabasas, those layers matter because a postal or regional address can sit near incorporated city boundaries, Las Virgenes school geography, nearby communities, or county service areas.
The research did not verify whether anonymous users can search the Assessor portal by owner name or exactly which owner fields appear in a result. That gap changes the wording: use the Assessor as an address, AIN, parcel, and jurisdiction directory first, then confirm any owner or mailing clues against the Property Tax Portal, RR/CC recorder records, or business filings. A mailing address can differ from the Calabasas situs address, which may point to a trustee, entity, manager, or owner contact, but it should never be treated as final without another official source.
| Property directory clue | Where to look | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Street address | Assessor portal and map search | AIN, parcel boundary, city, community, ZIP, and school district. |
| AIN | Assessor, tax portal, recorder request | Parcel identity and related tax or recorded-document trail. |
| Business or entity owner | California SOS Business Search | Entity status, agent, mailing or principal address, and filings. |
| Older owner or address | LAPL, State Library, FamilySearch, RR/CC | Reverse directory entries, deed chain, and historical place labels. |
Professional and Business Directories for Calabasas Names
Business and professional directories are useful when the person is tied to a company, license, filing, or public business contact. California Secretary of State Business Search is the main entity directory. It can reveal entity names, numbers, status, jurisdiction, formation or registration dates, agent for service of process, mailing or principal addresses, and filings depending on the record. This is especially useful when a Calabasas property owner, permit applicant, nonprofit officer, or local business appears as an LLC or corporation.
Los Angeles County RR/CC County Clerk services include fictitious business names, which matter for sole proprietors and local DBAs that may not appear as SOS entities. The research did not inspect a public FBN search interface or fee schedule, so FBN should be described as a county clerk record path rather than as a verified fielded online directory. Calabasas city business-license search was also not located in official sources; SmartGov does list Home Occupation Permit application material, and city permit or business records may require SmartGov lookup, department contact, or a City Clerk request.
For licenses, use California Department of Consumer Affairs License Search for many DCA professions, then move to board-specific portals where needed: State Bar, Contractors State License Board, Department of Real Estate, Commission on Teacher Credentialing, medical and nursing boards, and similar state systems. The research notes that Calabasas businesses often fall into professional services, entertainment and media-adjacent work, real estate, retail or restaurant activity, schools, and home services, so entity, FBN, contractor, real estate, DCA, school, and local chamber-style directories are more useful than broad industrial lists. The exact Calabasas Chamber directory fields were not inspected, so treat it as a public business-contact source only when the listing itself is public.
Historical City and Phone Directories for Calabasas
Historical Calabasas directory research usually starts regionally. LAPL's genealogy guide says it holds City Directories of the United States on more than 5,000 rolls of microfilm covering U.S. cities from 1861-1960, plus microfiche directories for earlier years, about 1,000 hard-copy U.S. directories, and Los Angeles city directories from 1873-1942 in both film and paper. The LAPL City Directories Index is the holdings guide for paper, microform, city, county, state, and regional directories.
The Los Angeles Public Library City Directories Index is the manifest source for the historical directory screenshot.
For older Calabasas residents, search regional labels as well as the city name: Los Angeles County, Las Virgenes, Agoura, Canoga Park, Woodland Hills, San Fernando Valley, and other nearby directory headings may carry the entry.
Historical directory era. Directory entries can list resident names, spouses or widows, occupations, employers, street addresses, and sometimes reverse address sections. Reverse or criss-cross directories are especially useful when the known clue is an old road, ranch address, business site, or house rather than a complete personal name.
The California State Library directory collection adds statewide coverage across every California county, with name and street-address searching value. FamilySearch catalog records add Los Angeles city and county directories including 1878, 1884/85, 1886/87, and other runs, plus Los Angeles County deed records from 1854-1920. Together, those sources help bridge the gap between early county records and the much newer City of Calabasas identity.
The Calabasas History Collection as a People Directory
The standout local directory source is not a conventional database. The Calabasas Library's Calabasas History Collection is housed at 200 Civic Center Way and includes books, photographs, pamphlets, maps, magazines, newspapers, and transcripts of interviews with local residents. The research identified Brian Rooney as the appointment and questions contact at archives@calabasaslibrary.org and 818-224-1757. The separate Local History Collection is available at the adult reference desk, where patrons can review up to three books at a time in the library with a library card or ID held at the desk.
This collection is valuable because Calabasas records often predate incorporation or appear under Las Virgenes, ranchos, school districts, old roads, movie-ranch contexts, or nearby Los Angeles County communities. A map, interview transcript, photo caption, newspaper item, pamphlet, or local history book can connect a name to a place or institution that modern web directories omit.
The LAPL genealogy research guide supplied the successful manifest image for metropolitan genealogy and directory research.
Use LAPL and the Calabasas Library together: LAPL provides broad city, county, newspaper, and microfilm directory context, while the local collection can identify Calabasas-specific people, places, schools, organizations, and photographs.
| Collection | Directory value | Access path |
|---|---|---|
| Calabasas History Collection | Photos, maps, newspapers, interview transcripts, books, pamphlets, and magazines tied to local residents. | Calabasas Library appointment or questions contact. |
| Local History Collection | Reference-desk material for local area history. | Adult reference desk, in-library use, up to three books at a time. |
| Calabasas History Project | Digitized local photos and documents. | Public project site and library archivist contact. |
| LAPL and State Library | Regional directories, newspapers, genealogy guides, and statewide directory coverage. | Library guides, microfilm, paper directories, and research rooms. |
Restricted or Nonexistent Calabasas Directories
Several tempting sources are not open people directories. The California and Los Angeles County voter file is controlled by Elections Code section 2194, Elections Code section 18109, Government Code section 7924.000, California Code of Regulations sections 19001-19013, and county or state application rules. It is available only for allowed purposes, excludes confidential voters, and is not a casual public people directory. Historical Great Registers may help genealogy, but modern voter data belongs on a restricted request path.
Other gaps need careful wording. The research did not verify a full citywide Calabasas staff directory, a Calabasas city business-license public register, exact Calabasas Chamber member-directory fields, a city-run cemetery interment lookup, or exact Calabasas High yearbook archive years from official sources. Private congregation, club, neighborhood, alumni, or family rosters should not be collected unless they are intentionally published for public access. Current white-page-style directories are thin and often commercial, so official government, school, professional, business, property, court, and library sources are the defensible directory set for Calabasas.
