Report my lost item →Losing something in Palermo, whether at a local business, along Palermo Road, or in a community space, means dealing with separate lost and found systems scattered across town.

File a report right away with us. The sooner your item is entered into our system, the sooner we route it to the Butte County Sheriff's Office and community channels. If it's a pet, time is especially critical, so consider filing a priority lost pet report as well.
How long do lost items stay in the Butte County Sheriff's Office lost and found?
Holding periods vary by the specific location where an item was found. We recommend contacting the Sheriff's Office directly at their Oroville office for clarification on retention timelines for items in their custody.
Can I file a report if I lost my item in a business or parking lot?
Yes. File a report with us, and we'll guide you on notifying the specific business or property management. Many businesses also monitor local lost and found Facebook groups, so your report reaches them through community channels too.
