Pasco County 72 Hour Booking Portal

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and keeps all booking records for the county. Their main office is at 8731 Citizens Drive in Land O' Lakes. You can call them at (727) 847-5878 for help with any booking question. The Sheriff's deputies handle most arrests, but bookings from other law enforcement groups in Pasco County also go through this same facility. Every person arrested in the county gets processed here.

The Sheriff's Office gives you two main ways to search for booking records in Pasco County. The inmate search page lets you look up anyone in custody right now. It shows their name, booking number, charges, and bond amount. The 72 hour booking report is a separate tool that lists everyone booked into the jail in the last three days. Both tools are free and open to the public under Florida Statute 119.01, which makes arrest records available to anyone who wants them.

Search Pasco 72 Hour Booking Records

Looking up a recent booking in Pasco County is straightforward. Go to the Sheriff's Office site and click on inmate search. Type in the person's first and last name. Use the exact spelling for the best match. The system pulls up results fast. Each result shows the booking date, charges filed, and bond status. If nothing comes up, try a slight variation on the name or check the 72 hour booking report instead.

The 72 hour booking report works without any name entry. It just lists everyone brought in over the past three days. The most recent bookings show at the top of the list. This is good when you want to browse all recent arrests in Pasco County without knowing a specific name. Mugshots are usually included next to the booking details. There is also a third-party site at pascoflorida.inmateinformation.com that pulls data from the Pasco County jail, though the official Sheriff's Office site is more current.

The data gets updated several times a day. But it may not show real-time changes like a release or transfer. For the most accurate status, call the jail directly. Under Florida Statute 119.07, you have the right to inspect and copy these records at no charge through the online portal.

Note: Some older booking records may be archived and will not show on the 72 hour report.

Pasco County Booking Report Details

Each booking record in Pasco County holds a set of key facts about the arrest. The report lists the full name, booking date and time, charges, bond amount, and an inmate ID number. When bond has been set by a judge, that amount shows next to the charges. Some charges carry no bond, which means the person stays in custody until a court hearing. All of this falls under Florida public record law and is free to view.

There are some things the booking report will not tell you. Release dates do not always show up on the public portal. If you need to know when someone will get out, you should call the Pasco County jail. The report also does not show case outcomes or court rulings. Being booked does not mean someone is guilty. Charges on the booking record are what the person was arrested for, not what a judge or jury decided. Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c) allows law enforcement to hold back certain details tied to active investigations, so some records may have parts that are not visible to the public.

Booking Photos in Pasco County

Mugshots get taken at the time of booking in Pasco County. These photos are part of the public record and show up on both the inmate search and the 72 hour booking report. You can view them for free on the Sheriff's Office site. Under Florida Statute 901.43, nobody can charge a fee to take down a booking photo. That law protects people from exploitation of their arrest photos.

The Florida Sheriffs Association runs the Florida Jail Information System, which pulls booking data from facilities like the one in Pasco County. This statewide system holds over 22 million booking records. It is shown in the screenshot below.

Pasco County Bond and Bail Info

Bond amounts appear on the booking record once a judge sets them. Not every arrest gets a bond right away. Serious charges or probation violations may carry no bond. The 72 hour booking report for Pasco County lists the bond amount next to each charge so you can see what it costs to post bail.

You cannot post bond online in Pasco County. Bond must be paid in person at the jail or through a bail bond agent. Cash bonds need the full amount up front. A bail bond company usually charges about 10 percent of the total as their fee, and that is not refundable. For help with bond questions in Pasco County, call (727) 847-5878. Under Florida Statute 985.04, juvenile records stay confidential and will not show up on the public booking report.

Tips for Searching Pasco County Bookings

Getting the right results from the Pasco County booking search depends on what you type in. The system needs the exact spelling of the person's name. Nicknames and short names will not work well. If you have a booking number, use that instead for a direct match. The 72 hour report is a good fallback since it shows all recent arrests without needing a name.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Use the full legal name for the best results
• Try the booking number if you have it
• Browse the 72 hour report when you do not have a name
• Call (727) 847-5878 if the site does not show what you need
• Charges listed are not guilty verdicts

Records older than 72 hours drop off the booking report. For past records, send a public records request to the Sheriff's Office. The FDLE public records page has details on how to ask for records that go past what the local 72 hour report covers. The Florida Department of Corrections is another source if someone has been moved to a state prison after their time at the Pasco County jail.
