Homosassa is an unincorporated coastal community in 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 15 minutes east.
Homosassa is world-famous for its summer recreational bay scallop season. The massive influx of boaters generates intense marine enforcement. FWC and the CCSO Marine Unit aggressively patrol the Homosassa River and Gulf waters for BUI, dive flag violations, and over-limit harvesting. Arrests on the water process through Lecanto.
US-19 runs through the center of Homosassa (Homosassa Springs), serving as the primary commercial corridor. The highway generates significant retail theft, traffic enforcement, and accident response. The heavy summer tourist traffic exacerbates congestion and related enforcement needs along this multi-lane highway.
Old Homosassa, west of US-19, maintains a historic, working waterfront character. The marinas, fish camps, and waterfront bars generate evening and weekend enforcement. The area is prone to severe coastal flooding during storm surges, requiring CCSO to handle evacuation enforcement and post-storm property security.
The Citrus County Clerk at (352) 341-6400 handles case lookups. The 5th Circuit covers five counties. The Citrus County Courthouse is in Inverness. The close proximity to the Lecanto jail makes the booking process for Homosassa arrests relatively quick.
The Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park is a major regional attraction, famous for its captive manatees and native wildlife exhibits. Park rangers handle enforcement within the facility. The surrounding community relies heavily on the eco-tourism industry. CCSO maintains strong relationships with local charter captains and marina owners to monitor the waterfront for illegal activity and ensure maritime safety.
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.
