How ReportLost Works
You Tell Us What You Lost
Fill out a simple form with a description of your item, where and when you lost it, and any photos. We gather everything law enforcement and local services need to launch a proper search.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes straight to the Volusia Sheriff's Office (Deltona precinct), City of Deltona services, Votran transit if applicable, and the right animal control channel. No runaround, no confusion about who to contact.
We Monitor the Web Continuously
For the next 12 months, our system scans Facebook community groups, Marketplace, local lost-and-found postings, and other public channels for items matching your description. You get an alert as soon as a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where to Report & What We Do
Below are the key local contacts. ReportLost does the legwork for you, but here's the full landscape.
Volusia Sheriff's Office, Deltona Division
The primary authority for lost property reports in Deltona. They maintain records of items turned in by the public and businesses. We identify your precinct location and file the report on your behalf.
City of Deltona, Lost & Found Services
The city coordinates lost property inquiries and can direct you to the right department depending on where the item was lost (parks, city facilities, etc.). We ensure your report reaches the right desk at City Hall.
Votran, Volusia County Transit
If you lost something on a Votran bus or at a station, they maintain a lost and found system. We flag your report for transit and provide the contact info and details they need to search their logs.
Deltona Animal Control & Volusia Animal Services
For missing or found pets, Deltona Animal Control and the Volusia Animal Services network work together to reunite animals with owners. Lost pets get priority routing and continued web monitoring across adoption boards and rescue pages. If you're looking for a missing pet, file a priority lost pet report instead.
Nearby Airports
If your loss occurred while traveling or at an airport, you may need to contact the facility's lost and found. The nearest major airports are Daytona Beach International and Sanford International. We include airport details in your report if relevant to your situation.

Start Your Report Now
The sooner you file, the sooner we begin searching. Every hour counts, and our web monitoring kicks in immediately once you submit your details. No fees, no complicated forms, just one simple report that reaches everyone who needs it.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Deltona can feel overwhelming. Between contacting the Volusia Sheriff's Office, checking Deltona Animal Control for pets, monitoring Facebook groups like "Lost, Found And Stolen ITEMS" and "Lost Animals, City of Deltona," and scrolling through marketplace listings yourself, there's a lot of ground to cover. Every service keeps separate records, and a found item might be posted anywhere from a local community page to a neighborhood group you don't follow yet.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report gets routed to law enforcement, city services, and local channels automatically. Then our team watches the web for you around the clock, scanning every post that might be yours. Instead of spending weeks checking the same places repeatedly, you can focus on other things while our system works in the background, and we notify you the moment something credible surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Volusia Sheriff's Office hold found items?
Items turned in to the Sheriff's Office are typically held for 30 to 60 days, depending on the nature of the item. After that period, unclaimed items may be disposed of, auctioned, or donated. This is why filing a report early is crucial, so law enforcement can locate your item while it's still in their system. We begin monitoring immediately and alert you if a match surfaces online.
Can I claim a found item directly from Votran?
Yes. If your item is on a Votran bus or at a transit facility, contact Votran directly at 386-756-7496 with a detailed description. We include transit in your report automatically, so they'll be looking for your item in their logs.
What if my lost pet isn't showing up on local shelter pages?
Stray or found pets are usually brought to either Deltona Animal Control (386-878-8701) or Volusia Animal Services. Both shelters post incoming animals online, but not every found pet is scanned or posted immediately. Calling both facilities directly to ask if a matching animal has been brought in is recommended. For added coverage, file a dedicated lost pet report with us so we can monitor adoption rescue pages and regional pet databases continuously.
How does ReportLost monitor Facebook groups if I can't join all of them?
Our system scans public posts across groups like "Lost, Found And Stolen ITEMS," "Lost Animals, City of Deltona," and others, looking for descriptions that match yours. When a credible match is found, we send you an alert immediately, with the post details and the group or channel where it appeared. You then reach out to the poster or group moderator directly.
Can I file a report after hours?
Yes. Our report form is available 24/7. You can submit your details anytime, and we immediately begin routing and monitoring. If you need to speak with law enforcement directly outside business hours, call the Volusia Sheriff's non-emergency dispatch at 386-943-8276 (Deltona) or 386-423-3352 for general inquiries.
Is ReportLost.org an official service of the Volusia Sheriff's Office or City of Deltona?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that automates the reporting process and coordinates with official agencies on your behalf. We are not part of law enforcement or city government, but we work within the existing system to ensure your report reaches the right places and to provide continuous monitoring that these agencies don't typically offer. You always have the option to contact Sheriff's Office, City Hall, or other services directly.
