Jury Services

You have been selected through a random process from a list of individuals holding a driver’s license or identification card issued by the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for the honor and privilege of jury service. Your presence is essential. The right to a trial by jury is a fundamental principle guaranteed by the Constitution and is a vital part of our justice system. Failure to report for jury service without an approved excusal may result in a fine and contempt of court charges.

Jury trials are conducted in Dade City and New Port Richey. Your specific reporting location is provided on your jury summons. The Clerk & Comptroller’s Office appreciates your service and hopes your experience will be both interesting and positive.

Important Notice – Scam Alert!

Jury summonses are mailed through the U.S. Postal Service. The Clerk & Comptroller’s Office never contacts by phone jurors who failed to appear. Additionally, law enforcement will not, and does not, demand payment, in lieu of arrest, due to failure to appear for jury service. Should you receive a phone call saying you have failed to report for jury service, and you are asked for personal information or payment, this is a potential scam.
