Arrested in North Port? All Sarasota County bookings process through the Sarasota County Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
North Port has its own police department (NPPD) serving this rapidly growing city in southern Sarasota County. All arrests transport to the Sarasota County Jail at 2020 Main Street, Sarasota, FL 34237, about 35 minutes north on I-75. North Port is the largest city in Sarasota County by land area but the jail is in the city of Sarasota.
North Port sits on the Sarasota-Charlotte county line. The Myakkahatchee Creek area and some neighborhoods border Charlotte County. An arrest on the Charlotte County side goes to the Charlotte County Jail in Punta Gorda, a completely different facility and circuit (20th, not 12th). NPPD patrols within city limits, while the Sarasota County Sheriff handles unincorporated areas. For Sarasota jail details, see our Sarasota page.
North Port has extensive preserve areas including the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park and numerous natural waterways. Law enforcement activity in these areas occasionally involves search operations and drug-related arrests in remote locations. Transport from southern North Port to the Sarasota County Jail on Main Street takes 35-40 minutes via I-75.
North Port is one of the fastest-growing cities in Florida, with new development stretching south toward the Charlotte County line. This growth has expanded NPPD's patrol area significantly. The West Villages development and Tamiami Trail commercial corridor generate increasing arrest volumes. Call NPPD at (941) 429-7300 for arrest inquiries.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Sarasota County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Sarasota County bondsman who can post at the facility.
All arrests in these cities are processed through the county jail. The booking and bail process described above applies to every one of them.
