How ReportLost Works in Portland
You File a Single Report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed so you don't have to repeat your story to a dozen offices.
We Route It to the Right Places
We notify the Portland Police Department, file with City Hall, alert animal control if applicable, and post to local Facebook groups and community networks where Portlanders actively report finds.
Your Report Stays Active and Searching
For 12 months, your report continuously matches against new lost and found posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts in the Portland area. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every group every day.
Where to Report a Loss in Portland
Here's every channel where your lost item might show up, and what we handle for you.
Portland Police Department
The Police Department at 433 N. Broadway logs lost property reports and holds found items. We generate the complete report and contact the right department for you. You can also call them directly at 615-325-3434 during business hours.
City Hall
Portland City Hall, located at 100 South Russell Street, can also accept reports of lost items and direct you to the appropriate department. We ensure your report reaches the right desk so you don't have to figure out which office handles what.
Airport & Travel
Lost something at Portland Municipal Airport or in a taxi? The airport lost and found is at 601 Airport Road. We help you determine if your item went to the airport and connect you with the right team there.
Lost Pet?
Portland's Animal Control and local rescue groups are the first stop for lost dogs and cats. Contact Animal Control at 615-325-3434 ext. 787 (Monday-Friday, 8am-2pm) or call the emergency number 615-451-3838. For urgent pet searches, file a priority lost pet report with us so the community and shelters are alerted immediately.

The Sooner You Report, the Better Your Chances
Every hour counts in the first days after a loss. The faster your item gets into the system, the faster it reaches the people and places most likely to spot it. Once you've filed with us, you can rest easy knowing the Portland Police, City Hall, and local groups have been notified, and your report is already searching.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Portland can mean navigating multiple systems at once, the police department, the city, animal control if it's a pet, and a scattered web of community Facebook groups. By the time you've contacted everyone separately and posted in the right places, precious time has passed. ReportLost simplifies that chaos into one straightforward report that reaches all the channels that matter.
What sets ReportLost apart is the ongoing search. Many systems require you to keep checking back manually. With us, your report stays active and continues to search for a match against new found items and community posts across Portland for the full duration of your search period, 12 months. You focus on your life; we keep your item on the radar.
