Florida Sheriff Contact Directory: All 67 Counties

Complete contact directory for every Florida county sheriff's office (and the two county corrections departments that operate independently from the sheriff in Miami-Dade and Orange counties). Phone numbers for inmate records, public information, and main administrative lines, plus direct links to the official websites. Organized by Florida region.

Using This Directory

The phone numbers listed are general main lines for each Florida sheriff's office. Most Florida sheriffs offer additional specialized phone lines for:

• Inmate Records / Booking: Usually a dedicated extension for "is this person in custody?" inquiries, bond amounts, and upcoming court dates.
• Public Information Office: Media inquiries and public affairs.
• Warrants Division: Active warrant inquiries.
• Records Division: Background checks, arrest record requests, crash reports.
• Civil Process: Eviction and service of court papers.

For the most direct path to inmate information, visit the county-specific jail page (linked in the right column of each row above). Those pages have specific record-division extensions and links to online search tools.

Three Notable Exceptions

Florida has 67 counties, but not all 67 inmate jails are operated by the elected sheriff. Three exceptions:

1. Miami-Dade County: Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation (MDCR) is a county government department reporting directly to the Mayor, not to the Sheriff. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's office was restructured, and jail operations are run by MDCR.
2. Orange County: Orange County Corrections Department (OCCD) is a county government department under the Board of County Commissioners. The Orange County Sheriff handles patrol and investigations, but jail operations are run by OCCD.
3. Volusia and Osceola: Both use county Corrections Divisions under the Board of County Commissioners rather than the Sheriff's Office.

In these counties, inmate records are handled by the corrections department, not the sheriff. The contact information above reflects this where applicable.
