Search Matthews Phone Numbers
Matthews phone numbers sit in several official systems. Town offices publish direct staff lines in the Town of Matthews staff directory, while police records, fire stations, public works, parks, and planning each have their own routing notes. County services for Matthews residents use Mecklenburg County directories and CharMeck 311. Schools use Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools campus pages, and health needs often move through Mecklenburg County Public Health, DSS, NC 211, or Novant Health Matthews Medical Center.
When an online directory does not show a direct line, use the fallback chain in the same order a records clerk would use it: the office's main phone, CharMeck 311 for county or Charlotte-connected services, Town Hall for town routing, then the public-records contact if the need is a document or report. For area-code context behind a number, see the Matthews phone area code reference; it explains why both 704 and 980 appear in local phone numbers.

Matthews Phone Numbers in Town Directories
The Town of Matthews staff directory is the richest official source for municipal phone numbers. It is a browsable directory by department, not a name-only database. It lists departments such as Administration, Finance, Fire and EMS, Parks, Planning and Development, Police, Public Works, and Safety and Risk Management. Many entries show direct 704 lines, while elected officials and some staff may show an email link without a direct public phone.
| Field | Type | Required | Notes / Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Department section | Browse heading | No | Administration, Board of Commissioners, Finance, Fire/EMS, Human Resources, IT, Parks, Planning, Police, Public Works, Safety and Risk Management. |
| Website | Link | No | Routes to several department pages. |
| Email / Send Email | Link | No | Individual contact uses a web mail link. |
| Name | Displayed field | n/a | Staff member or elected official name. |
| Title | Displayed field | n/a | Job title, elected role, or department role. |
| Phone | Displayed field | n/a | Direct line appears for many staff, but not all records. |
| Address | Displayed field | n/a | Department address for Town Hall, Police, Public Works, Parks, or Fire/EMS. |
A typical Matthews staff record can show a name, title, department, direct phone, email link, and department address. It does not show personal mobile numbers, home addresses, or languages. For public records, Town Clerk Lori Canapinno is listed at 704-708-1222, and formal requests may be made online, by phone, email, mail, or in person.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Examples in the research include town clerk, planning, public works, and fire leadership records. |
| Title | Town Clerk, Planning Director, Public Works Director, Fire and EMS Chief, and other roles. |
| Department | Section heading identifies the office. |
| Direct Phone | Many records use 704-708, 704-841, 704-321, or 704-847 blocks. |
| A Send Email link appears where published. | |
| Office | Department-level address, not a room-by-room staff locator. |
The Matthews Police public-records form is a key route when the phone need is tied to reports, citations, or records. The form asks for requester contact details, whether the request is a media request, and a required description of the records requested.
The Police records form source is shown below from the manifest capture.
The image matters because records questions often begin as a phone call but still require a form when a specific report or media request is involved.
Matthews Phone Numbers for Safety
Public-safety phone numbers in Matthews should be sorted by urgency first. Emergency police, fire, and medical calls go to 911. Routine police records use 704-841-6701 during office hours. Non-emergency police and animal control use 704-847-5555. Fire and EMS publishes station lines, but an active fire, medical emergency, or crash still belongs with 911. CharMeck 311 and NC 211 are not dispatch lines; they route service requests and human-service referrals.
911 - immediate police, fire, EMS, active danger, crime in progress, or medical emergency.
988 - Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for suicidal crisis or emotional distress.
311 - CharMeck non-emergency service routing, or 704-336-7600 from outside the service area.
211 - NC 211 health and human-service referrals, free, confidential, multilingual, and 24/7.
Poison Control - 800-222-1222 for poison help.
- Matthews Police Records / Information - 704-841-6701, Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Matthews Police / Animal Control non-emergency - 704-847-5555.
- Matthews Police tip line - 704-841-6787.
- Matthews Fire and EMS main - 704-847-9400.
- Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office information - 704-336-8100.
- NC State Highway Patrol Troop H Communications - 800-572-8765 or 704-292-1539.
Matthews Police notes that neighborhood crime reports can be obtained from staff at no cost by contacting the records office, though report production may take time. Certified arrest reports are limited to arrests processed by the department; broader statewide records require other official channels.
Note: A caller who claims to be police, sheriff, or court staff should be verified through the published office number.
Matthews Phone Numbers for Schools
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is the main K-12 phone directory system for Matthews. CMS district contact information gives a main phone of 980-343-3000, while campus pages publish school office phones and staff directory search fields. Matthews Elementary, Elizabeth Lane Elementary, Crestdale Middle, and Butler High all use CMS phone blocks. Campus staff records may show names and roles without direct staff phones, so the school main office remains the best fallback for a staff contact.

| Directory | Search Fields | What It Returns |
|---|---|---|
| CMS school faculty pages | Keyword, first name, last name, pagination | Name, title, school, and in some cases a profile or email path. |
| Matthews Elementary sample | Keyword and name fields | Staff names, titles, and school context; individual direct phones were not shown in the captured records. |
| UNC Charlotte directory | First name, last name, reverse phone lookup in the 704-687 block | Campus staff and department directory clues for regional higher-education contacts. |
CMS Police Dispatch is listed at 980-343-6030 for immediate school safety concerns, with emergencies still routed to 911. Board Operations uses 980-343-5139, and Student Placement, Registration, and Records uses 980-343-5335. The Matthews Library is also a practical in-person routing point because it sits beside the Town Hall civic area.
Matthews Utility Phone Numbers
Utility phone numbers in Matthews are easy to misroute because town, county, regional, and private providers all appear in the same daily life. A gas leak, power outage, or active roadway hazard is not a Town Hall billing question. Solid waste is a town-contracted service, but bulk pickup and cart issues route to Waste Pro. Charlotte Water billing and service questions use CharMeck 311 or the outside line.
| Utility | Emergency / Outage | Customer Service / Billing | Matthews Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water / sewer, Charlotte Water | 311 or 704-336-7600 for service issues | 311 or 704-336-7600 | Verify edge properties by address. |
| Electric, Duke Energy | 800-769-3766 | Account portal or customer-service page | Outage map also supports online reporting. |
| Natural gas, Piedmont Natural Gas | 800-752-7504 or 911 | 800-752-7504 | Leave the area before calling for a suspected leak. |
| Trash, recycling, yard waste, bulk | n/a | 980-325-3640 | Waste Pro handles bulk scheduling and cart issues. |
| Town Public Works | 911 if immediate danger | 704-708-1240 or 704-708-1242 | Office is at 1600 Tank Town Road. |
| Dig-safe utility location | 811 | 811 | Call before excavation. |
Waste Pro began the Matthews solid-waste, recycling, yard-waste, and scheduled bulk contract on July 1, 2023. The bulk pickup route is specific: schedule and pay in advance by calling 980-325-3640. Public Works remains useful for stormwater, streets, sidewalks, and routine town infrastructure questions, but emergency hazards should go through 911.
Matthews Health Phone Numbers
Health and social-service phone numbers for Matthews are mostly county and hospital based. Mecklenburg County Public Health uses 704-336-4700 for general questions and comments. Mecklenburg Vital Records uses 704-336-2819 for birth and death certificates registered in the county. DSS customer connection uses 704-336-3000, and the county child abuse, neglect, and human trafficking HELP line is 980-31-HELPS. NC 211 is the statewide referral route when the caller does not know which office handles food, housing, utility help, healthcare, transportation, or digital access.
Novant Health Matthews Medical Center is the primary named hospital in Matthews, with a main phone of 704-384-6500 and a patient-information contact at 704-384-5916. The hospital switchboard is not a substitute for 911. Immediate medical emergencies should go to emergency dispatch first.
The Novant Health Matthews Medical Center source appears below from the successful page capture.
The hospital listing helps separate local medical-center contacts from county health, DSS, crisis, and referral lines.
Matthews Records and Court Phone Numbers
Public records and licensing phone numbers for Matthews split by record owner. Town records go through the Town Clerk or town public-records portal, with Town Hall as the general fallback. Matthews Police records use 704-841-6701 for reports, citations, and public-records requests. Mecklenburg Vital Records handles local birth and death certificates at 704-336-2819, while NC Vital Records uses 919-733-3000. NCDMV customer service uses 919-715-7000 for driver-license, registration, appointment, and office-locator questions.
Courts are state branch offices serving Mecklenburg County, not a Matthews municipal directory. The official Mecklenburg County court contact directory lists the Clerk of Superior Court at 704-686-0400, District Attorney at 704-686-0700, Family Court at 704-686-0202, Jury Management at 877-649-7133, and Magistrates for civil or small claims at 704-686-0560.
The Mecklenburg court directory source appears below from the manifest capture.
For jury-service threats or missed-court claims, verify through the Clerk of Superior Court or Sheriff's Office rather than a callback number left by the caller.
Matthews County and State Phone Numbers
Mecklenburg County handles many services that Matthews residents search for by phone: public health, DSS, code enforcement, sheriff, taxes, elections, courts, and CharMeck 311 routing. County code enforcement uses 980-314-CODE, Public Health uses 704-336-4700, DSS uses 704-336-3000, and the Sheriff's Office information line is 704-336-8100. County tax customer service uses 704-336-7600, which is also the CharMeck 311 outside line.
State offices matter when the phone number involves DMV, state tax, utility complaints, Highway Patrol, consumer complaints, or state employees. The North Carolina employee directory lets users search by first or middle name, last name, and agency. It is a state employee lookup, not a county staff directory.
The North Carolina statewide employee directory source appears below from the successful capture.
The state directory is most useful when a caller claims to represent a state agency or when a Matthews question has moved beyond town and county routing.
Matthews Reverse Phone Number Lookup
Official reverse lookup starts with verification, not a name search. If an unknown 704 or 980 caller claims to be Town Hall, police, CMS, the Sheriff's Office, Public Health, or a court office, compare the number with the official directory first and call back through the published switchboard. NANPA and prefix tools can show area-code or rate-center context, but they cannot prove who placed a call. Number portability also means a prefix may no longer identify the current carrier.
- Save the caller ID, date, time, voicemail, and any payment request or agency name claimed.
- Check the official agency directory or main switchboard before calling the number back.
- Use the FCC Consumer Complaint Center for unwanted calls, texts, spoofing, phone-labeling, or carrier complaints.
- Use the FTC Do Not Call Registry to register a number or report unwanted sales calls.
- Use NC DOJ Consumer Protection for North Carolina scams, robocalls, wireless, broadband, and consumer fraud complaints.
The official path will not always return a caller name. It does create a safer record and helps avoid calling a spoofed number. The FCC Reassigned Numbers Database is mainly a compliance tool for callers and businesses, not a simple free consumer lookup.
Third-Party Reverse Lookup Tools
Third-party reverse lookup services are not government records. They may blend public records, app reports, carrier analytics, spam labels, and user-submitted data. Treat the result as a clue, especially for VoIP, ported, reassigned, or spoofed Matthews phone numbers. Low-tier people-search aggregators are not used here; the listed tools are limited to the high-end reverse lookup and caller-ID services documented in the research.
| Tool | Access | Best Use | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whitepages Reverse Phone | Freemium | Possible name, address, carrier, or line-type clues. | Full details may require a paid report. |
| NumLookup | Free or freemium | Quick web lookup for possible caller name and line clues. | Data availability varies by number. |
| Truecaller | Freemium app ecosystem | Crowd-sourced caller ID and spam category data. | Account or app may be needed for deeper features. |
| RoboKiller | Web lookup plus app subscription | Spam-focused reverse lookup and blocking. | Identity may be a spam label, not a verified person. |
| YouMail Directory | Free web directory | Known-spam number labels and voicemail-blocking context. | Best for spam patterns, not official identity. |
Carrier scam tools such as AT&T ActiveArmor, Verizon Call Filter, and T-Mobile Scam Shield can add caller-ID and blocking support for customers on those networks. A clean carrier label is not proof that a call is safe, and a spam label is not a court finding.
Matthews Phone Number Line Types
A Matthews phone number can be a legacy landline, school or government PBX line, wireless number, VoIP line, toll-free hotline, or hospital-system number. Old civic numbers such as 704-847 and 704-841 look like legacy local blocks, while CMS numbers in 980-343 and county numbers in 980-314 look like institutional blocks. That pattern is useful context, but it is not proof of the present carrier because numbers can be ported.
| Line Type | Matthews Examples | Identification Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Town or government PBX | 704-847-4411, 704-708-1222, 704-841-6701 | Verify on the official town site before calling back. |
| County government PBX | 704-336-7600, 704-336-8100, 980-314-CODE | Verify on MeckNC or Sheriff's Office pages. |
| School system PBX | 980-343-3000, 980-343-6300 | CMS numbers often use the 980-343 block. |
| Hospital system | 704-384-6500 | Verify on Novant Health pages. |
| Wireless or VoIP | Any 704 or 980 number | Area code alone does not prove location or carrier. |
| Toll-free hotline | 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, 833 | Not geographically local. |
Official prefix references, carrier lookup tools, and the FCC Reassigned Numbers Database can help explain a number. They do not replace agency verification. A spoofed caller can display a familiar 704 or 980 number even when the call did not originate in Matthews.
Report Matthews Scam Calls
Matthews and Mecklenburg scam reporting should start with the type of claim. Jury-duty threats should be checked against the Clerk of Superior Court or Sheriff's Office. Police or sheriff impersonation should be verified through Matthews Police or the Mecklenburg Sheriff's Office. Utility shutoff claims should be checked through the provider's published phone, not the caller's number. Robocalls, spoofing, and unwanted sales calls can be reported through the FCC, FTC, and NC DOJ channels listed above.
Recent research found active local and state concern about scam calls: Matthews Police scheduled a free scam-awareness presentation with the U.S. Attorney's Office, NC DOJ warned about jury-duty scams tied to Mecklenburg County, and NC DOJ announced Operation Robocall Roundup against illegal robocall traffic. For phone-code behavior such as 988, 811, and 711, the Matthews phone code reference separates service codes from ordinary phone numbers.
Note: Keep the caller ID, voicemail, date, time, payment demand, and claimed agency before filing a complaint.
Matthews Community Phone Resources
Several local resources help when a phone number is not in a formal staff directory. Matthews 101 routes civic education and town operations questions through the town communications contact at 704-708-1278. Matthews Library uses 704-416-5000 and is a practical public counter near Town Hall. Matthews Community Center uses 704-321-7275, with room-rental and programming contacts listed through the town staff directory.
NC 211 remains the broadest referral route for food, housing, utility help, healthcare, transportation, digital-skills support, libraries with Wi-Fi or computer labs, and other basic needs. CharMeck Alerts are also relevant because Matthews emergency and community notifications can be sent by cell phone, work phone, home phone, text, email, or voice message. Those notification tools are not reverse lookup services, but they are part of the local phone-resource landscape.
