Leon County Phone Listings

Leon County is home to Tallahassee, the state capital of Florida, which means this county has both local government offices and the full range of state agencies all in one place. The county has about 295,000 residents and sits in the 2nd Judicial Circuit. This phone directory covers the main contacts for county government, the clerk of courts, property records, and state resources. Whether you need a county department or a state office, most of the numbers you need are here or just a quick call away.

Leon County Government Phone Numbers

Leon County government runs from offices in Tallahassee. The Board of County Commissioners handles county-level business, budgets, and policy. The county has a "Citizens Connect" service that helps residents find the right department or phone number. You can reach a live person through the county's main phone line during business hours.

Because Tallahassee is the state capital, it is easy to confuse state offices with county ones. They are separate. Leon County government covers things like local road maintenance, county parks, animal control, and building permits. State government, headquartered in Tallahassee, handles statewide services. Both sets of offices use the 850 area code, so the number alone will not tell you which is which. If you are not sure, just call and ask. Staff can tell you quickly if you have reached the right place or need a different number.

All government phone numbers in Leon County are public records under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. You do not need to give a reason to request any number. The law applies to county, city, and state employee contacts alike.

Search Leon County Records Online

Since Tallahassee is the state capital, Leon County residents have easy access to state agency offices and their search tools. The MyFlorida 411 directory lists phone numbers for every state agency in Florida, and most of their main offices are right in Tallahassee.

The 411 directory is especially useful in Leon County because many state agencies have their headquarters here. If you need the Department of Revenue, the Department of Education, or any other state office, the odds are good that their main office is in Tallahassee with a local 850 number. The state information line at 1-866-693-6748 is another option for finding the right department.

For broader records searches, the Florida public records check pulls from multiple state databases. This tool can return results for professional licenses, business filings, and other state-maintained data.

Use this alongside the local clerk search tools for the broadest coverage. State-level records may include information that the county clerk does not keep on file, like professional licenses, state contract data, or agency correspondence.
