How do I post bond?

Procedures vary. Contact the local court or jail for locations and hours for posting bond. Some courts or agencies accept cash, money orders, bank checks (cashier's checks), personal checks, MasterCard, Visa or other major credit cards. Some agencies will only accept the exact amount of cash or a money order. Call first. To find information on a specific court location click here.
