Active Warrant Search in Sarasota County, Florida

In Sarasota County, some warrant-related information may be public under Florida’s Public Records Act, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. At the same time, the Act allows record custodians to restrict access to information that is sealed, expunged, confidential by law, or exempt for law-enforcement, investigative, juvenile, victim-safety, or court-order reasons.

Individuals seeking to conduct an active warrant search in Sarasota County may use the Sarasota County Clerk's online access to courts (CourtNet) to locate warrant-related information as part of a criminal case record. They may also search the Florida Wanted Persons Public Access System for warrant information reported to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) by law enforcement agencies statewide. Search criteria commonly used include:

  • Full name of the person (first and last name)
  • Case number
  • Case file date range
  • Citation number
  • Race, date of birth, age, and nickname (where available in statewide wanted person searches)
