Where to report a lost item in Seminole
The main channels, and what ReportLost does on your behalf
Seminole Police Department
The city's primary law enforcement. Lost and found reports are filed here for items found on city streets or within city limits. We ensure your report is filed correctly and reaches the right desk.
Seminole County Sheriff's Office
Covers unincorporated Seminole County. They maintain a dedicated Lost, Found & Recovered Property section where items are catalogued and held. We contact them on your behalf with all the necessary details.

Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB)
Seminole is home to SFB. If you lost your phone, wallet, or bag at or near the airport, file a claim directly with their lost and found office during business hours. We guide you through the submission process.
Lost Pet

The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins
Filing your report early with ReportLost gives you the best shot. Once it's in, you can breathe. We take it from there, and your signalment stays active and searching across all channels for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Seminole means contacting multiple places: the police department, the sheriff's office, local Facebook groups, community boards, and if it's a pet, animal services across Sanford and the county. Each channel has its own hours, process, and system. It's exhausting, and pieces often fall through the cracks because the systems don't talk to each other.
ReportLost simplifies this. One form, and we take on the routing. We tell you exactly where your item goes, handle the official submissions for you, and keep your report alive in active search mode for months. If your wallet, ring, or cat shows up anywhere in the community ecosystem, you'll know. That's the difference between a one-time filing and a real, sustained search.
