The Sedgwick County Subscriber Access Network was established by the Department of Information & Operations to provide citizens and organizations access to the public records of Sedgwick County on a subscription basis. The rights to view this information are in compliance with Kansas statutes that address access to public records granted to the Department of Information & Operations by the governmental entity responsible for the individual databases being accessed.

The network is viewed as part of an evolutionary process of providing a secure, effective, and efficient information delivery system to those who require regular access to Sedgwick County public records on a view-only basis. As the demand for additional functionality is expressed and newer technologies are made available, the network may be expanded to meet these additional requirements and/or refinements. It is the sincere desire of Sedgwick County Government, through the Department of Information Services, to provide an information delivery system that is in step with the requirements of those it serves today and in the future.

The Department of Information & Operations and the 18th Judicial District Court cannot accept responsibility for the timeliness nor the accuracy of the data being provided via the network.
