Citrus County Jail Roster

The Citrus County jail roster is a public resource that allows anyone to look up individuals currently held in the county detention facility in Florida. CitrusCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates, including booking details and charges. You can also access jail roster information through the Citrus County Sheriff's Office recent arrest page, by calling the detention facility directly, or by visiting in person. An important distinction in Citrus County is that the Sheriff's Office does not operate the county jail — the facility is managed by CoreCivic, a private corrections company. The roster is updated regularly and serves as a transparency tool under Florida's broad public records laws.

Search Current Inmates in Citrus Jail

There are several ways to search for someone currently in custody at the Citrus County Detention Facility.

Online Search

1. Visit CitrusCourt.us to search publicly available court and inmate record information for Citrus County.
2. Check the Sheriff's Office recent arrest page, which displays arrest records from the last 10 days. For older records, the Sheriff's Office directs users to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
3. If looking for related court case information, use the Citrus County Clerk of Courts records search (SCORSS).

To begin an online search, you will typically need:

• The individual's full legal name (first and last)
• A booking number, if known

The Sheriff's recent arrest page displays a browsable list. If no dedicated search field is available, use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to locate a specific name on the page.

By Phone

Because the Citrus County Detention Facility is operated by CoreCivic rather than the Sheriff's Office, jail-specific inquiries — including inmate status — should be directed to CoreCivic. As noted on the Sheriff's Office public records page, contact CoreCivic at:

For arrest-related questions handled by the Sheriff's Office:

In Person

You can visit the detention facility lobby during regular business hours to inquire about a current inmate. Call ahead to confirm visiting and lobby hours, as they may change. Juvenile offender records are not included on the public roster.

Find Citrus Jail Booking Records Online

A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the detention facility. During booking, jail staff record identifying information and the circumstances of the arrest. A typical Citrus County booking record includes:

• Booking number
• Date and time of booking
• Full legal name and physical description
• Charges at the time of arrest
• Arresting agency (e.g., Citrus County Sheriff's Office, Inverness Police Department, Florida Highway Patrol)
• Bond amount, if set

The Sheriff's Office posts recent arrest information online, but those records only cover the last 10 days. For booking records beyond that window, you have two main options:

1. Contact CoreCivic directly at (352) 527-6306 to request jail records. The Sheriff's Office confirms on its public records page that it does not maintain detention facility records.
2. Request a criminal history check through FDLE. The Florida criminal history record check is available for a fee and provides statewide arrest and disposition data.

If you need court case documents tied to a booking — such as charging documents, case status, or disposition — search through the Clerk of Courts records portal. The Clerk's office also accepts public records requests for documents not available online.

Search the Citrus Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number

The two most common ways to search the Citrus County jail roster are by name and by booking number.

Search by Last Name

• Enter the individual's last name exactly as it would appear on official documents.
• If the roster supports partial searches, entering the first few letters of the last name can help when you are unsure of spelling.
• Adding a first name narrows results when the last name is common.
• Double-check spelling — a single incorrect letter can cause the search to return no results.

Search by Booking Number

• If you have a booking number (sometimes provided by the arresting agency or the facility), enter it directly for an exact match.
• This method is faster and avoids issues with common or misspelled names.

No Results?

If your search returns nothing, consider these possibilities:

• The person may not yet be fully processed into the system. There can be a delay between arrest and the record appearing online.
• The person may have already been released or transferred.
• The name may be entered differently than expected — try alternate spellings or check for hyphenated names.
• The arrest may have occurred more than 10 days ago, meaning it has rolled off the Sheriff's recent arrest page. Contact CoreCivic at (352) 527-6306 or run an FDLE criminal history check for older records.

Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Citrus

The Citrus County Sheriff's Office recent arrest page is updated as new arrests are processed, but records are only retained for approximately 10 days. The detention facility's own records, maintained by CoreCivic, may follow a different update schedule. Here is what to keep in mind:

For records older than 30 days, the Sheriff's Office recommends contacting FDLE. Florida's public records laws, outlined in Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, guarantee broad access to government records, but certain information — such as juvenile records, sealed or expunged cases, and specific victim data — is restricted. If you believe a record has been sealed or expunged, it will not appear on any public roster or criminal history search.

For formal public records requests related to Citrus County government operations, you can also submit a request through the Board of County Commissioners public records request page.
