Search Clay County 72 Hour Booking
Looking up a booking in Clay County can be done two ways. The inmate search tool is best when you have a name. Go to the Sheriff's website and type in the first and last name. The system returns matches from the current jail population with details about charges, bond, and booking dates. If you do not have a name, the 72 hour booking report shows everyone booked in the past three days without a name search.
Booking photos are generally available on the online inmate roster. Each record shows the person's name, booking date, the charges at the time of arrest, and the bond amount. Some entries may show "NONE" for bond, which means no bail has been set yet and the person must wait for a judge. The most recent bookings appear first on the report, so you can quickly spot new arrests.
Verify the identity carefully when you search. Multiple people in Clay County may share similar names. Look at the booking date and charges to make sure you have the right person. If the website does not show what you need, call the jail at (904) 264-6512. Staff can check the system and give you the latest information on any inmate in the Clay County facility.
Clay County Booking Report Details
Each booking record from Clay County includes the person's name, booking date, the charges filed, and the bond amount. Booking photos are typically part of the record. The data reflects what was recorded at the time of the arrest. It does not show court outcomes, plea deals, or whether charges were later dropped. For that level of detail, you would need to check with the Clerk of Court for the 4th Judicial Circuit, which covers Clay County.
Under Florida Statute 119.07, anyone has the right to inspect and copy public records including booking data from Clay County. There are exceptions. Records tied to active investigations may be held back under Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c). Juvenile arrest records are confidential under Florida Statute 985.04 and will not show up in the public booking data. Everything else is open to the public.
Note: Information is subject to change. Always check the official website for the most current data on Clay County bookings.
Clay County Bond and Bail Info
Bond amounts appear on the Clay County booking report once they have been set. Not every charge comes with a preset bond. Serious felonies and probation violations may require a judge to set bail at a hearing. When bond is listed, it shows the amount for each individual charge. Add them up to get the total needed to post bail for someone in the Clay County jail.
You cannot post bond online in Clay County. Bond payments must be made in person at the jail or through a licensed bail bond agent. Cash bonds need the full dollar amount upfront. Bail bond companies charge a fee, usually around 10 percent of the bond total, which is not refundable. Before you post bond, call the jail to verify the current amount. Bond can change after court hearings, and the online report may not reflect those changes right away. Calls to the jail may be recorded and monitored, so keep that in mind when you call about someone's status in Clay County.
