Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes. Note: County-level FAQ — applies to all of Citrus County. No city-specific FAQ is available yet — the answers below apply to the broader jurisdiction.
Where can I find access to a copy of bankruptcy records that are available to the public?▼
Public bankruptcy records covering Citrus County, Florida and the rest of the Middle District of Florida are searched through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) at https://pacer.uscourts.gov. PACER charges $0.10 per page, capped at $3 per document, and waives fees if the user accrues less than $30 per quarter. Citrus County is in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division at https://www.flmb.uscourts.gov. The court's Voice Case Information System (VCIS) gives free case-status info at (866) 222-8029. Free quick lookups are also available at https://www.uscourts.gov/court-locator and the Federal Judiciary's Bankruptcy Case Locator at https://pacer.uscourts.gov/file-case/court-cmecf-lookup. Bankruptcy records (Chapter 7, 11, 13) are public under 11 U.S.C. §107 unless sealed for trade secrets, scandalous content, or identity-theft risk. Discharge orders and creditor schedules are routinely accessed by lenders. State court filings affected by bankruptcy stay are on the Citrus Clerk at https://www.citrusclerk.org and CCIS at https://www.flccis.com.
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.
Where do I look up warrants in Marion?▼
Active warrants in Marion County, Florida are checked through the Marion County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Warrants Division at https://www.marionso.com — phone 352-732-9111, located at 692 NW 30th Ave, Ocala FL 34475. The MCSO Warrants Unit enters all felony warrants into NCIC, FCIC, and the FDLE Wanted Persons database at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf (publicly searchable). Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Marion County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.marioncountyclerk.org. Local police departments (Ocala PD at https://www.ocalafl.gov, Belleview PD, Dunnellon PD) feed warrants into MCSO's system. Calling about your own warrant: staff will not confirm by phone, but you may ask at the Records counter — many people retain a Florida criminal-defense attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Federal warrants: US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing requires a motion under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730 to the Marion County Clerk.
Where do I find a deed or property record in Florida?▼
