How ReportLost works in Zimmerman
You report your loss
Fill out one simple form with details about what you lost, where, and when. We guide you through the information that matters most for recovery.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office, City Hall, local animal services if it's a pet, and gets posted to active community networks in Zimmerman and surrounding areas.
Your report keeps searching
For the full duration of your search period, your report stays active and continuously matches against newly posted found items, lost pet alerts, and community posts, so you don't have to check every day.
Where lost items go in Zimmerman
Each of these offices holds items, but ReportLost reports to all of them at once so you don't have to.
Sherburne County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office at 26750 5th Street W serves Zimmerman and takes reports for lost items found on county property or during police response. Call the non-emergency line during business hours. We make sure your report reaches the right desk so the staff knows exactly what you're looking for.
Zimmerman City Hall
City Hall at 12980 Fremont Avenue is the main point of contact for lost items reported on city property, at public events, or in municipal facilities. Staff can direct you to the right department or let you know if something matching your description has been turned in. We provide City Hall with your complete report details.
Public Transit (Metro Transit & MVTA)
If you lost an item on a bus or at a transit station, Metro Transit and MVTA (Minnesota Valley Transit Authority) both maintain separate lost and found departments with online reporting and retrieval options. Items are typically held for 30 days. We ensure your item description reaches the right transit lost and found.
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)
MSP's Lost and Found office, located on the valet level of Terminal 1, holds items for 30 days. The office is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and staff can search their system for you. We help you file a complete report that includes MSP's retrieval process.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Zimmerman, immediate action matters. Tri-County Humane Society, local animal control, and active Zimmerman pet networks (PawBoost, Facebook groups) should all know about your missing pet right away. We connect your pet report to all local animal rescue and shelter channels, and your alert stays active across networks. File a priority lost pet report.

Don't let time slip away
The sooner your item is reported across all channels, the sooner it can be found and returned to you. Once you file your report with us, you can stop worrying about checking each office individually. We keep the search going.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Zimmerman can feel isolating, especially when you're unsure which office to contact first: the Sheriff's Office, City Hall, a local shelter, or a community group. Each has its own lost and found system, reporting forms, and holding periods, and coordinating across all of them takes time you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies that. You file one report and we make sure it reaches every relevant authority and community channel in Zimmerman, then we keep your search active automatically, cross-checking new found items and posts for months so you can focus on other things. Once your report is in, the legwork is no longer on you.

How long does the Sheriff's Office hold found items?
Contact the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office at 763-765-3500 (non-emergency) to ask about their current holding period for found property. Most law enforcement agencies hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposition, but it's best to call and confirm for your specific item.
What if I lost my wallet or phone on the bus?
Call Metro Transit's Lost & Found weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or submit their online form. Items on buses are typically held for 30 days. MVTA (if you used MVTA service) holds items at Burnsville Transit Station during the same hours. We report your loss to both systems so they're actively looking.
How do I retrieve a found item from MSP Airport?
Call MSP Lost & Found at 612-726-5555 during their hours (7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily), or visit the office on the valet level of Terminal 1. Have your item description and flight details ready. Items are held for 30 days.
What should I do if I lost my pet?
Call Tri-County Humane Society at 320-252-0896 immediately to ask if your pet has been brought in. Post your pet's photo and description to PawBoost, local Facebook lost pet groups, and Nextdoor right away, as community members often find and report pets before they reach a shelter. We file your pet report across all these channels simultaneously.
How long will my lost item report stay active?
Your report stays active for your full search period (12 months depending on your choice), continuously matching against new found items and alerts posted by the Sheriff's Office, City Hall, transit agencies, animal services, and community networks. You'll receive alerts if a matching item is found.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office, Zimmerman City Hall, or any government agency. We don't replace calling 911 or the non-emergency line; we supplement those channels by ensuring your report reaches multiple services at once and stays active in your community for months. We're a coordination tool that saves you time.
