Where SNITCH Files: Florida Code Violation Reporting Service Areas
SNITCH files municipal code-enforcement complaints across Florida in its own name, so your name stays off the public record. Florida SB 60 (2021) ended anonymous code complaints statewide, and under Chapter 119 a complainant’s name and address become public. SNITCH files as the complainant of record instead, and a public-records request returns SNITCH’s information, not yours.
Anonymity posture varies by jurisdiction, and SNITCH confirms the policy for your specific municipality before filing. Find your region below, then start with the address, a few photos, and a short description of the violation.

Not Sure Which Region Fits?
If your city isn’t listed by name, it’s likely still covered. SNITCH files statewide and confirms whether your municipality accepts an agent filing before you pay the $299 filing fee. If the condition isn’t a fileable violation, or the jurisdiction won’t take the complaint, you hear that before any charge. A real condition or nothing.
To start, send the property address, a few photos, and a short description of the violation. Get started here.
