The Florida Department of Law Enforcement maintains the state criminal history database. Every arrest and court disposition from Deltona gets reported to FDLE and stored in their system. A name-based search costs $24. You submit it online at CCHInet and get results by email. This covers all of Florida, not just Volusia County.

The total cost for a fingerprint check is usually $50 to $80 because the LiveScan provider charges their own fee on top of FDLE's charge.

Public Records Access in Florida
Florida has some of the broadest public records laws in the country. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes gives anyone the right to request government records. You do not need to live in Deltona or even in Florida. You do not have to explain why you want the records. This applies to court filings, arrest records, and other documents used in background checks.
Records that are sealed or expunged by court order are not available. Chapter 943 of the Florida Statutes covers the seal and expunge process.

The Attorney General's Open Government page has information on public records rights and how to file a request.
