Daytona Beach Sex Offenders Registry

Daytona Beach sex offenders and sexual predators register with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, which processes all sex offender records for residents in Daytona Beach and the rest of Volusia County. The public can search active registrations at no cost through the FDLE statewide database, which lists current addresses, photos, and offense details for all registered offenders in the city. Daytona Beach is one of the most active communities in Volusia County, and the sheriff's office maintains a full caseload of registrants within city limits.

Daytona Beach Sex Offender Registration Office

All sex offender and sexual predator registrations for Daytona Beach residents are handled by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. The registration facility is at 1330 Indian Lake Road, Daytona Beach, FL 32124. The phone number is (386) 254-1537. Registration appointments are taken Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and again from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. These hours apply to in-person registration visits and re-registration check-ins. The office is closed on weekends and state holidays.

The Daytona Beach Police Department handles city law enforcement but does not process sex offender registrations. All registration goes through VCSO. People who need to register and are not sure which office to go to should call VCSO directly at (386) 254-1537 before coming in. This is especially important for anyone being released from a Florida correctional facility and setting up a new address in Daytona Beach, since the facility may handle initial notification but the registrant still must appear at VCSO within the required time window.

Note: VCSO registration hours are limited to specific morning and afternoon windows on weekdays, so plan your visit accordingly to avoid missing the available time slots.

Search Daytona Beach Sex Offenders Online

The FDLE sex offender search is the official public tool for finding registered sex offenders in Daytona Beach. The search is free and does not require an account or any registration. You can search by name, by Volusia County, by ZIP code, or by geographic radius from a specific address. Daytona Beach ZIP codes include 32114, 32117, 32118, 32119, 32124, and 32125. Entering any of these into the FDLE search tool returns active registrants with Daytona Beach addresses.

Each result in the FDLE database includes a current photo, the registrant's home address, physical description, date of birth, and the offense or offenses that triggered the registration requirement. Sexual predator designations are clearly marked in the results. The database reflects information that VCSO has on file, so it updates as registrants report changes and the sheriff's office processes them.

The Florida Offender Alert system provides free email or text alerts when a registered offender moves near an address you specify. Daytona Beach residents can sign up for alerts tied to their home, a school, or any other location. This is useful for getting real-time notice rather than checking the FDLE database on a manual schedule.

Daytona Beach Sex Offender Registration Requirements

Florida sets the registration rules that every Daytona Beach sex offender must follow. Under Florida Statute § 943.0435, any person with a qualifying conviction must register within 48 hours of establishing a residence in Daytona Beach. The 48-hour clock runs from the moment you set up a home in the city. It does not matter whether you are moving from within Florida or from another state. The deadline is the same.

At registration, the person must provide their full legal name, date of birth, current photograph, fingerprints, home address, employer, vehicle information, phone numbers, email addresses, and internet identifiers. Internet identifiers include usernames and screen names used on any social platform, gaming network, or other online service. All of this information goes into the FDLE statewide record and is visible to the public. If any of these details change, the registrant must report the change to VCSO within 48 hours of the change occurring.

Re-registration is required in person at VCSO on a set schedule. General sex offenders re-register twice per year, once during their birthday month and again six months later. Sexual predators face a stricter requirement under Florida Statute § 775.21. They must re-register every three months, four times per year, in person. Between those quarterly visits, any change in address, vehicle, employment, or online identity must be reported within 48 hours. The in-person requirement cannot be waived or replaced with a phone call or online form.

Transient offenders without a stable Daytona Beach address must report to VCSO every 30 days. This applies even if the person is staying in different locations around the city or elsewhere in Volusia County. The 30-day cycle resets each time the transient registrant checks in. Failing to register, missing a re-registration appointment, or providing false information is a third-degree felony in Florida, carrying up to five years in prison. Repeat violations carry higher felony classifications and longer potential sentences.

Daytona Beach Residency Restrictions

Florida's residency restriction under § 775.215 bars registered sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school, child care facility, park, or playground. This applies throughout Daytona Beach. The 1,000-foot measurement runs from the property boundary of the restricted location to the offender's residence. It is not a door-to-door measurement, and it does not matter whether the offender can see the school or park from their window. If the distance falls inside 1,000 feet, the location is off limits.

Daytona Beach is a dense city with many schools, parks, and recreational facilities spread throughout its neighborhoods. Finding an address that clears the 1,000-foot restriction requires careful checking before committing to a lease or purchase. Moving into a restricted area, even without knowing it violates the law, can lead to criminal charges. Registrants who are uncertain about a specific address should consult with VCSO or an attorney before moving in.

Note: Violating residency restrictions in Daytona Beach can lead to immediate arrest and prosecution regardless of whether the offender was aware of the nearby school or park at the time of moving in.

When a sexual predator relocates to Daytona Beach, VCSO must issue a community notification under Florida law.
