Brevard County Jail Inmate Search

Under the Florida Constitution, most people arrested in Brevard County are entitled to reasonable pretrial release. The exceptions are capital and life felonies when the proof is evident, and cases where no conditions would protect the community. Minor misdemeanor and traffic offenses often lead to a notice to appear instead of bail. For most other charges, the Florida Supreme Court publishes a uniform statewide bond schedule each year.

To check an inmate’s bail at the Brevard County Jail, call 321-690-1500. You can also review the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 to see the minimum bond for the charge. Circuits may set higher amounts, and some serious charges require a first appearance before a judge. The county accepts payment in cash, by surety bond, or by property bond, and release on personal recognizance is also possible.

While licensed for 1849 inmates, the Brevard County Jail often exceeds that number, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated for six to twelve months. Those held longer than a year are typically facing serious charges such as rape or murder, which take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county on those charges stay in one of the Brevard County facilities much longer.

Law enforcement agencies in Brevard County arrest and detain approximately 37,780 offenders every year.
