About the County  

Chattahoochee County is located on the western side of central Georgia. Initially, this area was part of Muscogee and Marion Counties before the Georgia Legislature drafted an Act in February 1854 to direct the creation of a new county. During this time, the county had three small post offices, but there was no outright town for the county seat. As a result, the court intervened in April 1854 and ordered the survey of Cusseta Town, which eventually became the county seat in May 1854.  

Early inhabitants of the county were farmers whose primary reason for visiting was the fertile soils in the area. The main agricultural activity was cotton farming, with the residents producing around 6,000 bales every harvesting period.  

In terms of population growth, the 2020 census results indicate that the county has 9,565 people, an 18% drop from 2010. The report further shows that the county covers 251 square miles, 249 of the area being land and the rest water.  

About the County Sheriff’s Office 

The purpose of the Chattahoochee County Sheriff’s Office is to create a safe environment for community members by reducing crimes. The Sheriff is the office’s primary authority who works with the help of various divisions to achieve the goal of community protection. These divisions perform different roles for efficient service delivery, including  

Foreclosure Sales  

Foreclosure sales refer to court/bank-ordered auction sales for unpaid mortgages and other unpaid sale agreements. The Chattahoochee County Sheriff’s Office conducts these sales and notifies the public about the upcoming ones. Typically, you’ll have to call the Sheriff’s Office at (706)989-3644 and get clarification on the business days as they vary.  

Successful bidders must provide at least 15% of the successful bid amount during the sale day. Afterward, they’ll have to confirm the status of their sales with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. If it shows that the sales are successful, they’ll have to pay the rest of the successful bid amounts within ten days.  

Online Open Records Request Form 

The Chattahoochee County Sheriff’s Office provides an online records request form that citizens can use to access various public records, including CAD and incident reports. All you have to do is follow this link and fill out the form before submitting it. The Sheriff’s Office will process the record requests and get back to you via email. If there’s no feedback within three days, call the office at 706-989-3644 for clarification.

For local criminal history requests, download and fill out this form and submit it to the Sheriff’s Office at 377 Broad St. | Cusseta, Ga. 31805.  

Anonymous Tip  

The Anonymous Tip website allows residents to provide helpful information to the Sheriff’s Office confidentially. Usually, this information comes in handy in preventing future crimes but cannot aid in thwarting in-progress ones.  

Interested individuals can fill out and submit this form. The Sheriff’s Office may or may not contact you further regarding the crime, depending on whether you fill out your contact information on the form. Crime victims should call the Sheriff’s Office at (706) 989-3644 or by dialing 911 rather than using the website.  

County Inmate Search 

Chattahoochee County runs the Chattahoochee County Jail via the Sheriff’s Office. It is a medium security facility that houses individuals awaiting trial or sentencing. You may also find individuals serving medium-term sentences in jail.  

The best way to locate an inmate in Chattahoochee County is by visiting the Sheriff’s Office and reviewing the jail roster. This is a register containing names and personal information on offenders and arrestees within the county and includes the following information: 

• Name  
• Date of Arrest  
• Reasons for Arrest  
• Bond Amount  
• Potential Release Date  
• Scheduled Hearing Date  

You can also access the roster at the particular correctional facility’s lobby. If you cannot go in person, call the office at 706-989-3644 for inquiries. Ensure you have the inmate’s full name for ease of information retrieval.  

Inmate Search through the DOC’s Website  

Online inmate search through the state’s Department of Corrections only applies to inmates transferred from the county jail to state facilities. The Department provides an online website that eases the offender search process using two broad search options: Name and ID/Case Number.  

The former option requires interested individuals to input the prisoner’s first and last names in conjunction or separately. There is also the partial name search category, where you provide the first four letters of the name. For instance, instead of keying in “Jefferson” in full, you can search it as “Jeff.” This way, the search engine will list all names matching the criteria.  

The latter option is the most accurate as each ID or case number identifies a particular inmate. However, some offenders may have more than one case number, depending on whether they’ve faced other criminal charges.  

Searches through the Sex Offender Registry  

The Georgia Sex Offender Registry contains information on sex offenders in the state except for juveniles. This information is available to the public to help them learn about registrants and their whereabouts in the state.  

The following are the search categories on the website: 

• Offender Type  
• Offense  
• Name Search 
• County 
• City and Street  
• Zip Code
