Collier County Government Directory

The county government maintains a department directory on its website at colliercountyfl.gov. Each listing shows a phone number, office address, and brief description of what the department does. The main county line is (239) 252-8999. Staff there can transfer you to any office in the Collier County phone directory if you do not have a direct number handy.

All government phone numbers in Florida are public records. This is part of Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, which makes most government information open to the public. You do not need to give a reason when you ask for a phone number or staff name. The county has to share it.

The state also runs a phone lookup tool for all Florida government employees. You can search it at 411.myflorida.gov.

The MyFlorida 411 directory covers state-level staff, not county employees. But it is still useful when you need to reach a state agency that has an office in Collier County. For county-specific contacts, stick with the Collier County website or call the main line.

Florida's public records law under Chapter 119 applies to digital records the same way it applies to paper ones. If a record is public, you can get it whether it sits in a filing cabinet or a database. The county cannot charge you more for an electronic copy than a paper one. Most online searches in Collier County are free, with fees only for certified copies or bulk requests.

You can also check the Florida Public Records Check portal for statewide searches. This tool pulls from multiple state databases at once.

The statewide portal at stateofflorida.com/public-records-check is a good starting point if you are not sure which county holds the record you need. For records you know are in Collier County, the local clerk search is usually faster and more detailed.
