Office Fax Number: (321) 264-7728

The Entrance to the new Evidence Unit is on the backside of the building (Southeast).

Property is released by appointment only, call (321) 264-5211 or contact evidence unit to schedule an appointment

The Evidence Unit is the central repository for all property and evidence held by the Sheriff’s Office relating to criminal and non-criminal matters. The main function of the Evidence section is to provide for the security and control of recovered and evidentiary property as well as abandoned, lost, or found property in the custody of this agency. This is critically important in supporting investigations, helping to guarantee successful prosecution at criminal or civil trials and facilitating the timely return of property to its rightful owners.

Property Claims and the Release of Property/Evidence

The ability to return property or evidence depends on several factors, to include; the type of property/evidence, the circumstances or reasons why the Sheriff’s Office has possession of it, and the inability of the item to be possessed by the owner.

In order to pick up any property:

  • Call and schedule an appointment with the Evidence Unit (321-264-5211). Please have a case report number prior to calling, if possible, to assist with this process. Personnel will need to verify with a case Agent or the State Attorney’s Office if items are releasable prior to setting an appointment.
  • If the owner chooses to have a designee pick-up their property, the designee must have a document that has been signed by the owner and notarized, explaining they have written authorization to pick up the property.
  • The owner, or designee, picking up any property or firearms must bring a valid state issued license, ID card, or passport which contains a photograph, in order to have items released to them.
  • Firearms will not be released to a convicted felon.


    Prior to any firearms being released, a criminal history will be done on the person designated to pick it up, in order to determine if there are any prior felony convictions, or any other information which would indicate the firearm could not be released to the person. If there are any questions as to the adjudication of a charge(s), or any other information questioning the ability of the person to be in possession of a firearm, the weapon will not be released until it is resolved. If a person picking up the firearm has been convicted of violating FS 790.07, or was convicted of any misdemeanor battery domestic violence charge pursuant to federal law, Title 18 USC Section 922(g)(9), the firearm cannot be released to the person, as it is against the law for them to be in possession of or own a firearm.

    Please call the Evidence Unit ahead of the scheduled appointment time with the information of the person picking up the firearms, as it can take approximately 30 minutes or more to perform the required criminal history/background check.

  • The reason for not being able to release a firearm/property is partially based on the factors in which it was taken into custody. Some of these reasons include, but are not limited to: Evidence, Court Ordered Domestic Violence Injunction, Baker Acts, and Ex Parte Actions.

This type of civil summons requires personal service by Florida State Statute and can lead to service delays if filed together. The landlord or agent can separate these actions, which in return can speed up the eviction process by allowing the 5-Day Eviction summons to be posted after two (2) separate attempts within a 6-hour time frame.
According to Florida Rules of Procedure and State Statute you cannot count the weekends and holidays in the 24-hour time calculation. The Sheriff’s Office does not serve on weekends or legal holidays. If the Deputy is having difficulty contacting you, this will delay the process.
You should contact the Sheriff’s Office within the county and state where the person or business resides so they can be served. The Clerk’s office within that county may also be able to assist you.
