Okeechobee County Jail Inmate Search
Florida’s constitution guarantees most defendants in Okeechobee County pretrial release on reasonable conditions, unless they face a capital or life felony and the proof is evident, or no conditions could protect the community. Many minor misdemeanors and traffic offenses end with a notice to appear. Other bonds follow a uniform statewide schedule adopted by the Florida Supreme Court, which sets a minimum amount for each charge.
Calling the Okeechobee County Jail at 863-763-3117 is the quickest way to find out an inmate’s bail. For a general idea of the amount, check the charge against the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026. Judicial circuits can set higher local amounts, and a judge at the first appearance hearing isn’t bound by the schedule. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, and may release someone on personal recognizance.
While the Okeechobee County Jail has a licensed capacity of 344, it is often forced to make room for many more inmates, especially on weekends. City and county jails in Florida generally turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months are usually charged with serious crimes such as murder or rape. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county are held at one of the Okeechobee County facilities much longer.
Every year, approximately 7,880 offenders are arrested and detained by Okeechobee County law enforcement agencies.

⇓ Learn more ⇓ Show lessCombined with the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office, the Okeechobee County Jail stretches almost an entire block and stands only one story high, housing both misdemeanor and felony charges both before and after their sentencing has occurred. The top capacity of the detention center is 344, which includes four housing units to meet all security needs, minimum, medium, and maximum, to provide safe housing for both male and female inmates.
The Okeechobee County Jail, which the sheriff’s office also calls the Okeechobee County Correctional Facility, is run by the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office at 504 NW 4th Street, Okeechobee, FL 34972. The phone number is (863) 763-3117. The jail has 344 beds in four housing units, plus two negative-pressure rooms for isolating contagious illness. Its Corrections Division has 75 staff, 58 of them sworn detention deputies, transport deputies and courthouse security. Like other Florida county jails, it holds people awaiting trial and people serving county sentences of a year or less. Anyone sentenced to longer goes to state prison.
After an arrest, anyone who isn’t released sees a judge within 24 hours under Rule 3.130. Okeechobee County is in the 19th Judicial Circuit. Under Article I, Section 14 of the Florida Constitution, most people qualify for pretrial release on reasonable conditions, except in capital or life felony cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great, or when no conditions can protect the community. The Florida Supreme Court’s 2026 bond schedule (AOSC25-69) sets minimum bonds before first appearance. The 19th Circuit’s chief judge may set higher ones, the first appearance judge can set a different amount, and some charges need a judge’s review first (sections 903.011, 903.046, 907.041). Minor misdemeanors often end with a notice to appear. Bail bond agents must charge the premium rate filed with the state (section 648.33). The sheriff’s site doesn’t explain how to post a cash bond, so call the jail for accepted payment types and hours.
There are no in-person visits. All visits are remote video calls through HomeWAV, made from your own phone, tablet or computer. Visits run 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, except 12–1 p.m. and 5:30–6:30 p.m. HomeWAV charges $0.11 a minute for video or phone calls, $0.03 per text and $0.40 per video message, with no minimum call length. You’ll need to pass HomeWAV’s photo ID check. The jail’s visitation page lists a strict dress code for everyone on camera, children included. Shorts and skirts must fall below the knee, shirts need sleeves, and no tight clothing, cleavage or bare stomachs. A visit is ended immediately if the dress code isn’t followed.
Personal mail goes through TextBehind, which scans letters so inmates can read them on HomeWAV kiosks. Address it to the inmate’s full name and ID number, Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office, FLORIDA, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. Don’t send money orders, checks, gift cards or cash through TextBehind. Legal mail and publications go to 504 NW 4th Street instead. Phone time can be added at homewav.com or at the HomeWAV kiosk in the jail lobby. For commissary, you can deposit online through JailATM, use the cash kiosk in the lobby, or mail a money order to Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office, Attention: Canteen, 504 NW 4th Street, Okeechobee, FL 34972. Put the inmate’s name on the memo line. Care packages are ordered at jailcanteen.com. See the phone and mail page and commissary page for details.
To see who’s in custody, use the sheriff’s inmate search. For warrants, check FDLE’s statewide wanted persons list, which doesn’t cover every warrant, or call the sheriff’s office.
We couldn’t find a fixed-route bus serving the jail. Most people drive, and since visits are remote, you’ll mainly come in person for deposits, bonds or release. The jail is a few blocks north of Park Street (SR 70). There’s a Wawa at 200 NW Park St and a Marathon at 118 S Parrott Ave. For food, Jersey Mike’s is at 611 SW Park St and Big Tasty’s, a local diner, is at 309 SW Park St.
When someone is arrested, they are taken to Okeechobee County Jail for booking. This process involves verifying identity, assessing charges, and determining whether the person will be released on bail or detained.
It's crucial to remain silent during this process, as any statements could be used in court. Legal counsel should be consulted before making any comments about the arrest.
The booking process at Okeechobee County Jail typically involves the following steps:
Booking times can range from one hour to 48 hours. For details on posting bond for an arrestee, call the facility at 863-763-3117.
Once booked at Okeechobee County Jail in Okeechobee, the individual has several possible outcomes:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Okeechobee County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Okeechobee County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
