Levy County, Florida, has about 48,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Levy County depends on where the incident happened: the Levy County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

What the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) Requires
Under the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) the agency must answer a request promptly and in good faith; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge the copy fees set by statute, plus a special service charge for large requests. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at levycounty.org/198/Public-Records-Requests (page title: Public Records Requests | Levy County, FL).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the State Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
