Lost something in Georgetown? We'll report it to the right place and track it down.

How ReportLost works in Georgetown
You describe what you lost
Tell us what happened, where, and when. We gather the details that matter: item type, location in Georgetown, date, and any identifying features. No back-and-forth emails required.
We route it to the right departments
We file reports with the Georgetown Police non-emergency line, alert GoGeo Transit if it was on a bus, contact the city's main office, and push alerts to active local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. You're covered across all the channels that matter.
Automated monitoring finds matches
Our system scans Facebook, Nextdoor, r/georgetowntx, marketplaces, and local community posts for months. The moment someone posts "found," we check if it matches your description, location, and timeline, and alert you with a potential lead.
Where to report in Georgetown
These are the official places items are checked and held. ReportLost handles notifying them for you, but here's what each one does.
Georgetown Police Department
Lost items are often turned in to the police non-emergency line, and they keep a record. They also investigate reports of lost property. We tell you which division handles your loss area and file the report on your behalf.
City of Georgetown
The city office coordinates lost item inquiries and can direct you to the right city department depending on where you lost it (downtown area, municipal buildings, public events). ReportLost files your report through the city's main contact channels.
GoGeo Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a local bus, GoGeo holds items at the CARTS Georgetown Station. Items are kept for a set period. We generate the exact details to report (route, time, seat) so your inquiry is specific and fast.
Lost & Found: 512-478-7433 (RIDE) - CARTS Station, 3620 S. Austin Ave.
Lost Pet? Urgent Priority
If you've lost a dog or cat, the city animal services and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter are your first stop. Time is critical for lost pets. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to get immediate coverage across shelters, local vets, and pet rescue networks.
City Animal Services: animalsvc@georgetowntexas.gov|Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter: 1855 SE Inner Loop
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)
If you lost something at AUS (the nearest major airport), their lost and found is open daily. Items are held for a defined period before being donated or discarded. We alert the airport on your behalf if your loss happened during travel.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The first few hours matter
The sooner you report, the sooner our monitoring system starts watching for your item. Most found items get posted within the first 24 to 48 hours. We'll scan every corner of the web, so you can stop doing it yourself.
Report my lost item →Georgetown spreads across Williamson County, and losing something here means checking multiple places: the police non-emergency line, the city office, GoGeo Transit if you used the bus, local animal services if it's a pet, and then scrolling through Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and Reddit forums yourself, day after day. It's scattered, time-consuming, and easy to miss a "found" post buried in a community thread.
ReportLost pulls all those channels together into one report. Instead of calling around and monitoring social media constantly, you file once with us, we notify the right departments and post to the communities, and our automated monitoring watches for matches around the clock. Within hours of someone posting a found item that fits yours, we let you know. You can finally breathe.

Frequently asked questions
How long do police and GoGeo keep lost items?
The Georgetown Police Department typically holds items for 30 to 60 days before disposal or donation. GoGeo Transit keeps items at the CARTS Station for a similar period. If you report through ReportLost right away, we'll alert you to claim it before that window closes.
What if my item is a pet? Should I report it here?
If you've lost a dog or cat, use our <a href="/report-lost-pet">dedicated lost pet report</a> instead. Time is critical, and pets have a separate network (shelters, vets, rescue organizations). We'll notify the City Animal Services, Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, local veterinary clinics, and pet rescue networks immediately.
How does ReportLost monitor Facebook, Nextdoor, and Reddit?
Our system continuously scans public posts on the Georgetown Lost & Found Facebook group, the Lost Pets of Georgetown Texas group, r/georgetowntx, and Nextdoor. We cross-reference found items with your description, location, and date. When a credible match appears, we send you an alert with a link to the post so you can follow up directly.
What if I lost something at the Austin airport or on a flight?
If you lost it at AUS (Austin-Bergstrom International Airport), we file a report with their lost and found (512-530-5678). If it was on a flight, contact the airline directly. ReportLost can help you document the loss and monitor secondary channels (pawn shops, eBay, Facebook Marketplace) where airport items sometimes show up.
Can I report something lost on GoGeo Transit?
Yes. We'll notify GoGeo's lost and found at the CARTS Station (512-478-7433) with your item description, the bus route or station where you lost it, and the date. GoGeo will hold items for a set period. Our monitoring also watches local posts in case someone found it and posted in the community group.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We are not the police, the city, or any official lost and found office. What we do is file your report on your behalf, coordinate notifications to the right local departments, and monitor public community channels continuously so you don't have to. You remain the owner and can contact police or any office directly yourself at any time. We make the process easier and more thorough.
