Frequently asked questions about lost items in Homosassa Springs
How long does the Sheriff's Office hold lost property?
Citrus County Sheriff's Office policy typically holds lost property for a set period before disposing of unclaimed items. Contact them at the property and evidence section to confirm the specific timeline for your item and to place a claim with proper identification.
If I lost something on a Citrus County Transit bus, how do I claim it?
Call (352) 527-7630 to inquire about your lost item. Have details ready such as the bus route, approximate time, and a description. If found, the transit office will arrange a pickup or mail-back option.
Where should I look first if I lost my pet in Homosassa Springs?
