Davie Quick Facts
Davie Sex Offender Registration Office
Sex offenders and sexual predators who reside in Davie must register with the Broward County Sheriff's Office. The primary registration site is located at the Broward County Courthouse, 201 SE 6th Street, Room 1145, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. The phone number for the Broward Sheriff's Office sex offender unit is (954) 831-8900. The Davie Police Department, located at 1230 S Nob Hill Rd, Davie, FL 33324, can be reached at (954) 693-8200 and may assist with local inquiries, but formal registration happens through the sheriff's office.
Under Florida Statute § 943.0435, anyone convicted of a qualifying sex offense must register within 48 hours of setting up a permanent or temporary address. That 48-hour window starts the moment you move in. If you are transient and have no fixed address, you must still register and then report back every 30 days. Failure to comply is a third-degree felony that can carry up to five years in prison. The law does not have a grace period for people who are new to Florida or new to Davie.
The Broward Sheriff's Office processes all registrations for Davie residents. Offenders must bring government-issued ID, proof of address, vehicle information, and details about any internet accounts or email addresses they use. The office collects a photo and fingerprints at each registration visit.
How to Find Sex Offenders in Davie
The FDLE sex offender registry is the main tool for searching Davie sex offenders online. You can search by name, ZIP code, or county. Davie ZIP codes include 33314, 33324, and 33328. Enter one of those codes and the results will show every registered offender with an address in that area. Each listing includes a photo, current address, physical description, and the offense that led to registration.
The FDLE search is free and open to anyone. No account or login is needed. Results show both sexual offenders and sexual predators, which are two distinct classifications under Florida law. Sexual predators are flagged with a separate label and face stricter re-registration rules. The database updates regularly as offenders move, register, or are removed. If you want to be notified when an offender moves near your home, you can sign up for free email alerts through Florida Offender Alert. You enter your address, set a radius, and get an email any time a registered offender moves into that zone. It's a simple tool and widely used by Davie parents and neighborhood groups.
Note: FDLE data reflects what offenders have reported. If someone failed to update their address, the registry may not show their current location.
Registration Requirements for Davie Offenders
Florida uses two main categories for people on the registry. Sexual offenders register under Florida Statute § 943.0435 and must re-register twice a year, once during their birth month and again six months later. Sexual predators fall under Florida Statute § 775.21 and must re-register every three months, which means four times per year.
At each registration, the Broward Sheriff's Office collects and verifies the following information from Davie registrants:
- Full legal name and any aliases
- Date of birth and Social Security number
- Current home address and any temporary or work addresses
- Vehicle make, model, color, and license plate
- Phone number and all email addresses
- Internet usernames and screen names
- Current photograph and updated fingerprints
If a Davie offender plans to move out of state, they must give 48 hours' advance notice before leaving. International travel requires a 21-day notice. These travel rules apply even for short trips when the offender intends to establish any new residence abroad. Failure to give proper notice is treated the same as failure to register and carries the same felony penalty.
Davie Residency Restrictions for Registered Offenders
Florida Statute § 775.215 bars sexual predators and sexual offenders from living within 1,000 feet of any school, child care facility, park, or playground. In Davie, which has a large number of schools and family parks spread throughout its residential neighborhoods, this restriction limits where offenders can legally set up a home. The 1,000-foot measurement runs from the property line of the restricted site to the property line of where the offender wants to live.
Davie's layout includes several town parks, the Nova Southeastern University campus area, and many schools serving students of all ages. Offenders who are trying to find a compliant address in Davie must map out restricted zones before signing any lease or purchase agreement. The Broward Sheriff's Office can help verify whether a specific address is within a restricted zone. Note that local ordinances in Broward County may add additional restrictions beyond what the state requires, so checking with both county and town officials is worth the extra step.
Landlords in Davie are legally permitted to rent to registered offenders as long as the address is outside restricted zones. Offenders who move to a compliant address still must register that address with the Broward Sheriff's Office within 48 hours of moving in.
