City of North Port

The City of North Port’s Social Services Division is proud to announce an important expansion of services beginning Jan. 1, 2026. The Division is now an authorized full-service site and will be able to directly assist residents with a range of services from the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF).

In the past, the Division operated solely as a self-service center with limited access. This new capability will allow staff to assist individuals with completing their DCF applications, reviewing case status information and supporting residents with additional DCF-related needs.

Rather than traveling to the Sarasota DCF office for assistance, residents can now receive a higher level of support locally – enhancing accessibility and convenience for families in North Port.

For an appointment, please call the Social Services Division at 941-429-3700.
