Use Florida’s official source
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) maintains a public registry of people classified as sexual offenders or sexual predators under Florida law. It provides registration information supplied by government agencies and registrants.
The designations have different legal criteria. Use the designation and explanatory information in the official record rather than assigning your own risk category. The registry is a public-information resource, not a prediction of a particular person’s future conduct.
How to search around Century Village
Start with a specific street address. A radius search around one address is not the same as a search limited to Century Village’s boundaries.
- Open FDLE’s Neighborhood Search. Use the button above. If the direct link changes, start at the registry home page and select Search → Neighborhood Search.
- Enter the address. Use your building’s mailing address, West Palm Beach, Florida, and the correct ZIP code. Use the actual address rather than only “Century Village” or a subdivision name.
- Choose a radius and result format. FDLE offers a radius from one-quarter mile to five miles and map/list options. Start locally, then expand if you want a wider view.
- Check the search location. Confirm that the address resolved to the intended building or area before interpreting the results.
- Review both the map and list. Open individual records to check the registered address and status. FDLE explains that list results can include addresses that cannot be plotted, such as general transient locations.
- Check the geographic boundary. A nearby result can be outside the gates. Read the address; a map marker alone does not establish residence inside Century Village.
For a broader community review, searches around addresses in several parts of the Village may help cover more ground. Overlapping searches can show the same record more than once; do not add result counts together as if each were a different person.

Read the record before drawing conclusions
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Identity | A matching name alone is insufficient. Compare the record’s identifying information before assuming it refers to someone you know. |
| Registered address & address type | Read all relevant address details. Do not assume every address is a current permanent residence. |
| Legal status | Records may indicate confinement, supervision, release subject to registration, death, or that the person is no longer at the reported address. These are materially different circumstances. |
| Record currency | Recheck the live FDLE record rather than relying on a screenshot, forwarded message, or an old printed flyer. |
Report suspected inaccurate registry information to FDLE. Do not confront someone to investigate the record yourself. Use information for lawful awareness; threats, harassment, and vigilante action are unacceptable.

Official offender alertsWhat association boards should know
A registry search can be one part of a lawful, consistent screening process. It is not a substitute for verifying identity, reviewing an application, following governing documents, or obtaining appropriate professional advice.
- Verify before acting. Confirm a potential match and the underlying record rather than relying on a name or neighborhood map.
- Consult association counsel. Before denying an application, restricting access, seeking removal, or adopting a new policy, confirm the association’s authority and the applicable legal procedures.
- Keep the process consistent. Apply approved procedures fairly and document the basis for decisions. If a screening company supplies a consumer report, ask counsel about any applicable consumer-reporting requirements.
- Communicate carefully. Avoid rumors, public accusations, and circulating an unverified “watch list.” Share official resource links and direct immediate safety concerns to law enforcement.
A registry listing by itself does not establish that a person’s current occupancy violates an association rule or that the board can evict or remove that person. Law enforcement handles registration enforcement; counsel should advise on association remedies.
Good decisions begin with verified facts.

For an authorized review, record the source, search date, address and radius, geographic limitations, possible match, and information requiring verification. Avoid unnecessary copying of personal information.
- Read the current address type and legal status in the official record.
- Do not count overlapping radius results as different people.
- Refer suspected inaccuracies to FDLE rather than confronting someone.
- Obtain counsel’s review before an application, access, or occupancy decision.
A registry result is not a prediction of future conduct or proof that occupancy violates association rules. Share official resource links for awareness and report actual immediate threats to law enforcement.
