We reach out to the right places
We contact the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, the appropriate local lost and found services, animal control if needed, and key community channels. You don't have to call around yourself.

Where to report in Key Largo
Here's who holds lost items, and what we do to speed up the process for you.
Monroe County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office logs lost property reports and holds items temporarily. If you've lost something at a public location or business, this is your official starting point. We tell you which office to contact and generate the exact information to include in your report.
Key Largo Municipal Office
The Key Largo Office handles local administrative matters and can connect you with appropriate services or point you to where your item might be held. We know who to prompt and with what details.
Phone: 305-453-8806|Visit: 102050 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037
Shops, Restaurants & Public Spaces
Hotels, marinas, dive shops, restaurants, and other businesses in Key Largo keep lost items at the front desk or management office for 30 to 60 days. We help you identify which specific locations to contact based on where you were, and we can post to local community channels so others know to look out for it too.
Key West International Airport
If you left something on a flight or in the terminal, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office runs the airport's lost and found. They hold items for several weeks. We ensure your report reaches the right desk and includes the flight or terminal details needed.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Key Largo, contact the Upper Keys Animal Shelter immediately, and also reach out to the local lost and found pet community. We can help you broadcast your missing pet across these channels and keep your report active for months. File a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
The first hours and days after a loss are critical, especially if others are cycling through lost and found bins or resharing found items online. Getting your report in front of the right people right away makes a real difference. Once you submit, the hard part is done; we take it from here.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Key Largo is frustrating, especially when police, animal shelters, shops, and community groups don't talk to each other. You end up filing a report here, posting on Facebook there, calling the animal shelter separately, and then checking everything yourself every few days for months. It's exhausting.
ReportLost changes that. Submit once, we route to everyone at once. Then your report becomes a living search tool that monitors for matches automatically throughout your search window, so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing your browser. You'll get an alert the moment something credible surfaces.

Common questions about losing things in Key Largo
How long do the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and local businesses hold lost items?
The Sheriff's Office typically holds items for 30 to 60 days before disposal. Most businesses also follow a 30 to 60 day window, though some may keep items longer. Reporting early ensures your item isn't discarded. Check with the specific business or office as soon as possible to confirm their retention policy.
Do I need to file a police report if I lose my wallet or phone?
Filing a report with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office (non-emergency: 305-289-2371) creates an official record, especially important for identity theft protection or insurance claims. ReportLost files this on your behalf and also alerts other channels simultaneously so you're covered.
How do I claim a lost item from the Upper Keys Animal Shelter?
Contact the shelter at 305-451-0088 to confirm they have your pet. Be ready to describe identifying features (color, collar, microchip number). You'll typically need to provide proof of ownership and may need to pay a small holding fee. Bring a photo if you have one.
What should I do if I lost something at the airport?
Call the Key West International Airport Lost & Found at 305-809-5200 (operated by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office). Have your flight number, airline, and a clear description ready. ReportLost includes all these details in our report to the airport, so you don't have to repeat yourself.
How does ReportLost find my item if I don't know who has it?
Once you report, we notify police, animal control, businesses, and community groups directly. We also post to Lost & Found and Nextdoor groups. Then your report stays active for 12 months, automatically matching new 'found' posts, marketplace listings, and shelter listings against your description. You get alerted the instant a credible match surfaces, so you're not manually checking Facebook and Craigslist every day.
Is ReportLost.org official or part of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office?
ReportLost is an independent service; we're not run by law enforcement or the city. But we work with official channels (police, shelters, government offices) and post to real community groups. We make it faster and easier to file a report and stay organized during your search. However, you can also contact any of these services directly yourself; we just handle the coordination and long-term tracking so you don't have to.
