Arrested in Floral City? All Citrus County bookings process through the Citrus County Detention Facility. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Floral City is an unincorporated historic community in eastern Citrus County. There is no city police; the Citrus County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) provides law enforcement. All arrests transport to the Citrus County Detention Facility in Lecanto, about 25 minutes west.
Floral City is known for its historic Avenue of Oaks (Orange Avenue) and late 19th-century architecture. The town maintains a deeply rural, Old Florida character. The annual Floral City Strawberry Festival draws thousands, generating event-related traffic and crowd enforcement for CCSO.
The community sits on the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes. Airboating, fishing, and kayaking generate FWC enforcement for BUI and boating violations. The lakefront properties range from historic estates to small fishing camps. The Withlacoochee State Trail runs directly through town.
Floral City is near the Hernando County border (Brooksville area). Cross-jurisdictional issues occasionally occur on US-41, the main north-south highway connecting the two counties. An arrest on the Hernando side books at the jail in Brooksville, not Lecanto.
The Citrus County Clerk at (352) 341-6400 handles case lookups. The 5th Circuit covers five counties. The Citrus County Courthouse is at 110 N. Apopka Avenue in Inverness. For Inverness details, see our Inverness page.
The 46-mile Withlacoochee State Trail is a major recreational feature running through Floral City. The paved trail brings cyclists and pedestrians from across the state, generating minor recreational enforcement and accident response. The community's strict preservation of its historic oak canopy and 19th-century architecture requires careful traffic management by CCSO to prevent accidents on the narrow, tree-lined roads.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Citrus County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Citrus County bondsman who can post at the facility.
