Gadsden County Public Records Rights

Florida's Chapter 119 guarantees public access to government records. Gadsden County arrest records and mugshots are included. Section 119.01 makes it clear that giving access to records is a duty of each agency, not something they can choose to do or not. You can ask anonymously. No reason is needed.

Some exemptions apply. Booking photos of law enforcement officers are protected under Section 119.071(4)(d) if the officer files a written confidentiality request. Victim data in sexual offense cases is also exempt. But for regular Gadsden County arrest records, the data is open. The Sheriff's Office must provide it within a reasonable time frame. Copy fees follow the statewide standard: 15 cents per page for regular copies, up to $1.00 for certified copies.

Note: Even though Gadsden County is small, the Sheriff's Office is still bound by the same response time expectations as larger agencies under Florida law.

Removing Gadsden County Mugshots

People with a Gadsden County arrest can petition to seal or expunge the record. Sealing under Section 943.059 makes the record invisible to public searches. Expungement under Section 943.0585 physically destroys it. Both require a certificate of eligibility from the FDLE Seal and Expunge Section.

Contact FDLE at 850.410.7870 or email SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us. The fee is $75 by money order. Processing takes about 12 weeks. After receiving the certificate, you petition the 2nd Judicial Circuit Court that serves Gadsden County. If the judge grants your petition, the arrest record gets sealed or destroyed. Private mugshot websites may still have copies of your Gadsden County booking photo, and current Florida law does not require them to remove it.
