You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it, and any details that make it yours. We gather everything in one place so you don't have to piece it together later.
We notify the right places
Your report goes to the Walton County Sheriff's Office, Freeport City Hall, relevant local shelters and offices, and gets shared across community networks. No need to make dozens of calls yourself.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your item description stays active and automatically crosses paths with new found-item posts, shelter intakes, and community announcements. As soon as there's a credible match, you get an alert.

Freeport's main reporting channels, and what ReportLost does for you
Walton County Sheriff's Office
The primary law enforcement agency serving Freeport. Report lost items or inquire about found property to their non-emergency line. We can also file the report on your behalf and ensure the right precinct sees it.
Freeport City Hall
The city's administrative center is another reporting point for lost and found items within Freeport. City staff can direct you to the right department and help process your report. We tell you the best contact and the exact information to provide.
Lost or found a pet?
Alaqua Animal Refuge and Walton County Animal Shelter both serve the Freeport area. Shelters hold strays and lost pets, and staff check them against found-pet reports daily. We can file your lost pet report with shelters and community networks to prioritize reunion. File a priority lost pet report
Businesses and public spaces
Hotels, shops, restaurants, and parks across Freeport maintain their own lost and found sections. Items left at the beach, downtown stores, or service locations often end up there. We help you identify which businesses to contact and provide the right description.
Community networks
Facebook groups dedicated to lost and found in Walton County, Nextdoor, and local community boards are where residents post found items. Your report gets shared across these channels automatically, so community members see it as new posts come in.
