County of San Mateo – Controller’s Office

Parking is pretty hard to find in the area (even for employees). 1^st floor of the government center garage parking is metered parking (the rest is employee parking). There’s also street metered parking around the area but be careful where you park and watch the time because they will ticket. Recorder’s Office and Revenue Services are on the 1^st floor. Child Support is on the 2^nd floor. The 4^th floor is PublicWorks but if you need permits, you go to the 2^nd floor of 455 County Center across the way. The Recorder’s Office is where you get records (like marriage /​birth /​death certificates) and even have your passport renewed. Revenue Service is where you pay your taxes. Child Support is where you can pay your child support bill or manage your child support case. The rest of the building is not really for the public (county employee departments). This building is newest one within the government center. Since it’s mostly made of glass, it’s more inviting than the others. Still, it’s just an office building =P
