Who Issues Warrants in Dixie County
In Florida an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Dixie County that means the Dixie 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.
Florida has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Dixie County
The Dixie County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Cross City serve warrants in Dixie County.
The FBI's agency list also places five state agencies and one state police unit in Dixie County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Dixie County Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Dixie County Sheriff's Office, held about 71 people on an average day so far in 2026 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at townofgreenwood.org/pt1_type/dixie-county-jail, phone 352-498-1231. The Dixie County inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Dixie County on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Dixie County
Whether a warrant is out from Dixie County shows in two places:
- The State Attorney, phone (386) 758-0470, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Dixie County Sheriff's Office at townofgreenwood.org, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Dixie County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the prosecutor's) 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 Dixie County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Dixie 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 Dixie County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The State Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at sao3.org/locations, phone (386) 758-0470.
