Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a jail, court, sheriff's office, bond office, or records division. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, accept bail, schedule a visit, or pull an official booking record. Use the official Tioga County and state contacts below for those requests.

For current county-jail custody, start with the Tioga County Jail line. The Sheriff's Office research states that correctional staff release only the name and bail amount of incarcerated inmates. For records that are not released by phone, use the Sheriff's Records Division or FOIL process.
