Where to report a lost item in Fayetteville
The main channels and how to reach them
Fayetteville Police Department
The police department is your first official point of contact for lost items. They maintain a lost and found system and can file a report at their front desk. We generate the exact details you'll need when you call or visit.
760 Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard, Fayetteville, GA 30215|Phone: 770-461-4441
Fayetteville City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department for your lost item and sometimes holds found items reported to the city. We help you figure out which office to contact based on what you lost and where.

Community groups and social channels
Fayetteville residents actively post found items in local Facebook groups and on Nextdoor. People who find wallets, rings, and phones often reach out through these channels first. Your report surfaces your details so the finder can reach you if they post what they've found.
Lost pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, time is critical. Contact Fayette County Animal Control and the Fayette Humane Society immediately. They hold lost pets for a limited time and can help spread the word. For a coordinated response that reaches shelters and community networks, file a priority lost pet report.
Fayette County Animal Control: 770-631-7210|Fayette Humane Society: 770-487-1073

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Found items are most likely to be turned in within the first few days. Filing your report with ReportLost today puts your details in front of the police department, city services, and active community channels right away. Once your report is filed, you can step back and let it work for you.
Report my lost item →Losing your wallet, keys, ring, or phone in Fayetteville means navigating multiple channels at once: the police department, the city, local Facebook groups, and any specific business where you think you left it. Each office keeps its own lost and found, and none of them talk to each other. By the time you've called them all, hours have passed and your item may already be sitting in someone's drawer.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report filed here reaches the Fayetteville Police Department, City Hall, and the community channels where locals post found items every day. And unlike a single phone call, your report doesn't end after you hang up. It stays active and keeps matching against new found item posts for 12 months, so you don't have to check Facebook groups and marketplace listings yourself every single day.
