Florida Law on Taylor County Booking Records

Florida has one of the strongest public records laws in the country. It covers booking records in Taylor County and every other county. The law says that all state, county, and municipal records are open for personal inspection by any person. You don't need to be from Taylor County. You don't need to explain why you want to see a record.

There are narrow exceptions. Under Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c), some law enforcement information can be withheld if it relates to an active investigation. This might cover details like witness names or confidential sources. But the core booking facts, such as who was arrested, what they were charged with, and what their bond is, are almost always public in Taylor County. Juvenile arrests are handled differently under Florida Statute 985.04 and will not appear on the public report.

The statute page above shows the full text of Florida's public records law, which applies to all Taylor County booking data.

Arrest Photos and Mugshots

Booking photos are taken at the Taylor County jail during intake. These are public records under Florida law. Florida Statute 901.43 puts rules on how booking photos can be used. No one can charge you a fee to remove your mugshot from a website. If your case was dismissed or you were found not guilty, you can ask the Taylor County Sheriff's Office to take down your booking photo from their public site.

Send a written request with your case number and proof that the charges were dropped. The Sheriff's Office will review and process the request. This only applies to the official Taylor County site. Third-party sites that copied the photo operate under their own rules, though the same statute still protects you from removal fees.

Statewide Records Through FDLE

If you need records from beyond the 72-hour window in Taylor County, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement maintains a central criminal history database.

FDLE serves as the central hub for criminal justice data in Florida and supports all county sheriff offices including Taylor County.

Tips for Taylor County Booking Searches

Getting good results from a Taylor County booking search comes down to a few things. Use the full legal name. Partial names or nicknames won't match what the jail has on file. If the name is common, narrow your results by the arrest date. You can also use the booking number if you have it.

• Search by full legal name for best results in Taylor County
• Use booking date to tell apart people with the same name
• Records may be delayed by a few hours during processing
• Call (850) 584-5200 if the online search does not show what you need
• A booking record does not mean a person was convicted

Keep in mind that booking data may not reflect the most current status of a case. After the first court hearing, charges can change. The bond amount may go up or down. If you need to know the outcome, contact the Taylor County Clerk of Court for case records and final dispositions. Booking records reflect arrests made and should not be treated as proof of guilt.
