Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to reach the right people across Fernandina Beach.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Fernandina Beach Police, city services, Nassau County Animal Services (if applicable), and active local lost & found groups. No multiple forms, no guessing which desk to call.

While you move on, your report stays active, automatically matching against new found items posted to local channels and marketplaces. We alert you instantly if a credible match appears, so you never have to refresh Facebook or Nextdoor yourself.
Where to Report in Fernandina Beach
The main channels, and what ReportLost does with each
Fernandina Beach Police Department
The police maintain a lost and found log and can advise on property recovery. File a report in person or by phone during business hours, or call non-emergency for after-hours guidance. ReportLost generates the exact details to include and confirms which precinct has jurisdiction over your loss location.
City of Fernandina Beach
City Hall and its departments can direct you to the appropriate lost property channel or advise on claims. Reaching the right desk can take phone tag. We point you to the exact department contact and follow up on your behalf.
Lost & Found Pet Services
If you've lost a cat or dog, Nassau County Animal Services and Nassau Humane Society both maintain searchable lost pet records and actively assist in reunions. Found pets are logged 24/7. For lost pets, file a priority lost pet report to activate cross-agency alerts and reach microchip networks.
Nassau County Animal Services (904) 530-6150|Nassau Humane Society (904) 694-2214
Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport
If you left an item at the airport, the lost and found is reachable by phone during business hours. Check quickly, as items are held for a limited time before being disposed of. ReportLost helps you document your report for airport records.
Local Lost & Found Community
Fernandina Beach residents post found items regularly on Facebook groups and Nextdoor, often before they reach official lost and found offices. These informal channels are where quick reunions happen, but you have to see the post in time. ReportLost monitors these groups and alerts you when a match is likely, rather than you checking manually every day.

Start Your Report Today
The sooner you report, the sooner the search network activates. Once your report is filed, you can relax knowing every relevant local service and social channel has been notified, and your description will continue matching against new found items automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Fernandina Beach means checking with the police, contacting city services, searching Facebook groups, and hoping someone posts on Nextdoor. Each office keeps its own records, no one talks to each other, and a found item posted today may not reach you if you're not online at the exact moment. It's fragmented and stressful.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we notify every relevant local channel and service for you. More importantly, your report doesn't sit idle. It stays active for your entire search period, matching new found posts and announcements against your description automatically, so you don't have to be the one refreshing forums and groups every day. You report, we handle the outreach and the ongoing match-hunting.
