Arrested in DeFuniak Springs? All Walton County bookings process through the Walton County Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
DeFuniak Springs is the county seat of Walton County, and the Walton County Jail is at 796 Triple G Road. Phone: (850) 892-8111. The DeFuniak Springs Police Department handles city arrests while the Walton County Sheriff covers the coastal areas including the 30A beach communities and Miramar Beach.
DeFuniak Springs is centered around a nearly perfectly round spring-fed lake. Circle Drive runs around the lake through the historic district. The Chautauqua Winery and seasonal festivals generate modest enforcement. The DeFuniak Springs Community Center hosts events that contribute to weekend activity.
Walton County's 30A beach communities (Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor) are the primary tourism draw for the county. All arrests along 30A transport to the DeFuniak Springs jail, a 40-60 minute drive north on US-331. This long transport time delays booking significantly for beach-area arrests.
DeFuniak Springs sits at the intersection of I-10 and US-331. I-10 generates drug interdiction stops, while US-331 connects the beach communities to the interstate. FHP and WCSO patrol these corridors. The Walton County Courthouse at 571 US-90 handles criminal proceedings.
DeFuniak Springs hosts one of only four remaining Chautauqua buildings in the United States, reflecting the city's late 19th century cultural heritage. The Florida Chautauqua Assembly hosts events that attract visitors to the historic district. The Walton County Heritage Museum and Circle Drive historic homes contribute to a modest tourism economy. DFSPD maintains a community-oriented policing approach. The Walton County Clerk at (850) 892-8115 handles case lookups.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Walton County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Walton County bondsman who can post at the facility.
