Finding Someone in Custody in Taylor County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Taylor County is held at the county jail, run by the Taylor County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Taylor County Sheriff's Office at taylorcountyga.com/departments-sheriffs-office.php (page title: Sheriff?s Office | Taylor County, Georgia), phone 478-862-5451, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 478-862-5451.
