Who Issues Warrants in Calhoun County
In Florida an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Calhoun County that means the Calhoun County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller keep that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Calhoun County
Whether a warrant is out from Calhoun County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The State Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office at townofgreenwood.org, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Calhoun County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
Clearing a Warrant from Calhoun County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Calhoun County starts with the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the County Court is handled by that court, not by the Calhoun County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The State Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at jud14.flcourts.org/state-attorney.
