Reporting a Lost Item in Rexburg
Here's where to report and what to expect locally
Rexburg Police Department
The Rexburg Police Department handles lost and found reports and can advise on items lost in public spaces. If your item involves a crime or suspicious circumstances, they'll take a full report. With ReportLost, we generate the exact details to include and point you to the right desk if you choose to file separately.
Rexburg City Hall
City Hall serves as a central hub for lost item inquiries and can direct you to the right department depending on where you lost something (parks, public buildings, events). We alert City Hall on your behalf when you file with ReportLost.
Valley Regional Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Valley Regional Transit bus in the Rexburg area, contact VRT Customer Service. Items are held at their facility and you'll need to collect in person. ReportLost can help you flag your item across transit services so it's easier to locate.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a pet in Rexburg, time is critical. The Rexburg Animal Shelter maintains a registry of found animals and can help with reunification. The community also supports lost pet searches through local Facebook groups and alerts. To maximize your chances, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost for immediate distribution to shelters, rescue networks, and neighborhood channels.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Rexburg can feel overwhelming. Whether it's a wallet dropped at a shop on Main Street, a phone left on a Valley Regional Transit bus, keys mislaid at a local event, or a pet that wandered off, the challenge is the same: different offices, Facebook groups, and community channels all operate separately, and there's no single place to report that reaches everyone at once.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report from you triggers notifications to Rexburg Police, City Hall, transit authorities, and community groups simultaneously, and then your report continues searching quietly in the background for months, matching your lost item description against new found posts and alerts so you don't have to refresh pages yourself or make repeated calls.
