Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes. Note: County-level FAQ — applies to all of Bay County. No city-specific FAQ is available yet — the answers below apply to the broader jurisdiction.
How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Bay?▼
Outstanding warrants in Bay County, Florida are checked through the Bay County Sheriff's Office Warrants Division at https://bayso.org/warrants. The Warrants Division enters all felony warrants into BCSO's Records Management System, NCIC, and the FCIC/FDLE statewide system. The statewide FDLE Wanted Persons database is at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf. For a personal warrant check, call BCSO Records Division at (850) 747-4700 or visit 3421 N Highway 77, Panama City FL 32405; staff will not confirm by phone but you can ask in person. Many people instead retain a Florida attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Bay County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.baycoclerk.com. Federal warrants are not in the local system — check US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing a warrant in Florida requires a motion to the circuit or county court under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730.
What's the source for arrest records in Panama City?▼
Arrest records in Panama City, Florida come from two sources. First, the Bay County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) at https://bayso.org runs the county jail at 5700 Star Lane and posts the daily inmate roster — call BCSO Records at (850) 747-4700 or visit 3421 N Highway 77, Panama City FL 32405.

Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Marion County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.marioncountyclerk.org.

Where do I find a deed or property record in Florida?▼
Florida deeds and property records are filed at the county Clerk of Court / Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the property sits — Florida has 67 counties, each with its own Official Records search. The statewide directory of Clerk record search portals is at https://www.flclerks.com. For example: Miami-Dade at https://onlineservices.miamidadeclerk.gov/officialrecords; Broward at https://officialrecords.broward.org; Hillsborough at https://pubrec3.hillsclerk.com/oncoreweb. Property valuation, ownership, and parcel data come from the county Property Appraiser (directory at https://floridarevenue.com/property/Pages/LocalOfficials.aspx); tax history from the county Tax Collector. All Florida Official Records (deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments) are open under Ch. 28, F.S. with very limited redactions for protected persons (LEOs, judges) under §119.071. Recording fees are statutory: $10 first page, $8.50 each additional, plus documentary stamp tax of $0.70/$100 of consideration ($0.60 in Miami-Dade). Certified copies are typically $1/page + $2 certification.
