This removes your name only – the property record stays

City-Data.com does not delete property records. The disassociation process removes your name from the listing, but the address, home value, and other assessment data remain on the site. You also need to click an email verification link to complete the request.

Step-by-Step Opt-Out Guide

1

Find your property record on City-Data.com

You need to locate the specific assessment page that shows your name before you can submit a removal request.

Action

Go to city-data.com and use the search function or navigate through the Assessments section to find the property page that lists your name.

If you own or have owned multiple properties, there may be separate listings for each. You will need to submit a separate disassociation request for each property page that shows your name.
2

Copy the URL of the property record page

The disassociation form requires the exact URL of the page showing your name.

Action

While on the property assessment page that shows your name, copy the full URL from your browser's address bar.

Copy the URL from the specific property page, not from search results. Paste it temporarily in a notes app so you have it ready when you open the form.
3

Go to the disassociation request form

City-Data.com has a dedicated form for name removal requests at a direct URL.

Action

Navigate to city-data.com/delrequest/form.php.

4

Fill in the form and submit

The form needs your identity details, location, and the URL of the property record you want your name removed from.

Action

Enter your first name, last name, email address, state, county, and city. Paste the property record URL into the URL field. Complete the CAPTCHA and submit the form.

Use a disposable email address. You need to click a verification link in the email to complete the request, so make sure the address can receive incoming mail.
5

Click the verification link in the confirmation email

The disassociation is not processed until you click the link in the email City-Data.com sends.

Action

Open your inbox and find the email from City-Data.com. Click the confirmation link to finalise your disassociation request. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within a few minutes.

The verification link expires. If it expires before you click it, submit the form again from Step 3.
6

Verify your name has been removed

Processing takes 24 to 48 hours after you click the confirmation link.

Action

Wait 24 to 48 hours, then search your name on city-data.com and on Google to confirm it is no longer linked to the property.

Google's cached results may still show your name for a few days after it is removed from the City-Data.com page. Use Google's Remove Outdated Content tool to speed up removal from Google's index.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does opting out of City-Data.com do?

City-Data.com removes your name from the property assessment record, but the property information itself stays on the site. After disassociation, the page will still show the address, home value, and other assessment data, but your name will no longer be linked to it.

How long does removal from City-Data.com take?

City-Data.com typically processes disassociation requests within 24 to 48 hours of you clicking the email verification link. After that window, search your name on the site and on Google to confirm it is no longer linked to the property. Google's cached results may take a few more days.

Do I need to verify by email to complete the opt-out?

Yes. After submitting the form, City-Data.com sends a confirmation email with a link you must click to finalise the request. The name removal does not happen until you click that link. If the link expires, submit the form again from the beginning.

Is opting out of City-Data.com free?

Yes, completely free. Never pay anyone claiming to remove your name from City-Data.com. The disassociation form at city-data.com/delrequest/form.php costs nothing to use.

What if I have multiple properties listed on City-Data.com?

Submit a separate disassociation request for each property record that shows your name. Each submission requires the specific URL of that property page and its own email confirmation click.

Can my name reappear on City-Data.com after I opt out?

Yes. City-Data.com draws from public property assessment records that update over time. When the underlying records refresh, your name can be re-linked to the property. Check the site periodically and resubmit the disassociation form if your name reappears.

How do I remove old Google search results showing my name on City-Data.com?

After the disassociation has been processed on City-Data.com, use Google's Remove Outdated Content tool to request removal of cached pages that still show your name. Google typically processes these requests within a few days.

Request Submitted

Your disassociation request has been submitted and the email verification link has been clicked. Your name will be removed from the City-Data.com property record within 24 to 48 hours.

What to do next

Wait 48 hours, then search your name on city-data.com and Google to confirm the disassociation. If you have multiple property listings, repeat the process for each one. Use Google's Remove Outdated Content tool if Google's cache still shows your name after the site has been updated.
