Where to report and reclaim in Elfers
Local property offices, transit, and community channels where lost items turn up
Pasco County Sheriff Property & Evidence
The Sheriff's office holds lost property and found items reported to deputies. Call the Property & Evidence section to inquire if your item has been turned in, or to file a report if you've reported to law enforcement. We help you understand which division to contact based on where your loss occurred.
GO PASCO Transit Lost & Found
If you left an item on a GO PASCO bus, the transit system keeps found property for a set period. Call their customer service line weekdays during business hours to report or claim. We ensure you know exactly which route and timeframe to mention when you call.
City & County Offices
Items turned in at municipal buildings, parks, or public facilities often end up at city or county administration. Nearby cities like Port Richey and New Port Richey have their own property protocols. We point you to the right desk so your inquiry reaches someone who can help.
Lost or Found a Pet?
Pasco County Animal Services tracks lost and found pets and coordinates with local shelters. Many people also post in community pet groups on Facebook and Nextdoor to reach neighbors quickly. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report with us so we alert both authorities and pet rescue networks in your area.

File one report with us, and we distribute it to Pasco County law enforcement, notify the right lost and found offices, and post across the community channels where locals gather. Most importantly, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match automatically, month after month. You don't have to become a full-time detective; we do the legwork so you can move forward.
