Bonds

All bonds shall be paid at the courthouse during the hours of 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Cash and surety bonds may be paid at the jail only when the courthouse is closed.

All payments of bonds must be in cash only with exact change.

All persons bonding out from jail will be charged a booking fee, jail bond service fee, and room and board for every day of incarceration.

Some offenses have a pre-set bond. All others are set by a judge. When there is not a pre-set bond, the offender will meet with Pre-Trial Services within 24 hours of being booked in. An officer from Pre-Trial will interview the individual and work with the local judges to establish bonds.

Kinds of Bonds And A Brief Description Are Listed Below.

ROR Bond: (Released on Own Recognizance) This bond requires an individual to sign stating they will return on their appointed court date and is not secured by any other means.

Surety Bond: A surety bond requires someone of the judge's choosing to sign, most commonly a spouse or parent, but does not require any financial payment at the time of release. The bond lists a monetary amount, and the signer assumes that burden if the court date is missed by the offender.

Unsecured Bond: An unsecured bond includes a monetary amount assigned to it but does not require money at the time of release. This bond is much like a surety bond but can be signed by the person being released.

Partially Secured: A partially secured bond involves a monetary value and a percentage of that must be paid before release. The total amount and the percentage to be paid are both set by the judge issuing the bond.

Property Bond: A property bond lists a monetary value and is allowed to be secured through the use of owned property. This can only be done at the courthouse.
