Get Jail Release Form Template

A Bond is a formal written agreement where a person agrees to do something (such as appear in court) or stop doing something (such as committing a crime). If the person doesn't comply with the agreement, he/she (or a "surety", also called a "bondsman") then forfeits the money paid for the Bond.

A customer can expect a bond refund within four to six weeks from the final disposition. The Criminal Division will prepare the bond refund documents, which are then forwarded to the Accounting Department to be audited and processed.

Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, or cases exist with outstanding balances, bond money will be refunded to the person who posted the bond minus any fees owed to the Court. Attorneys seeking portions of Bond must have a completed W9 on file with the Accounting Division for the refund to be generated.

A payment plan allows you to purchase a bail bond in installments if you cannot afford the bail bond in full. For example, if you cannot purchase a bail bond upfront for $1000, you could make a down payment of $500 and then pay the remaining amount in agreed-upon installments.
