County Court
Bonding Office
About Us
The main function of the County Court Bonding Office is to write appearance bonds for defendants who are incarcerated in the Denver Police Department's Pre-Arraignment Detention Facility (PADF) or at the Denver County Jail. Defendants who are not incarcerated may also come in to post bonds for any outstanding Denver warrants they may have, once they have obtained bonding information from the issuing division.
More Info
Bonds can be posted using cash, Visa, MasterCard, certified funds, property, or through a professional bonding agent.
Note: when coming to the Bonding Office to post bond, a defendant will be expected to post the entire bond amount (see
Bonding Schedule), and may also be assessed one or more of the following fees:
$30 Bond fee per bond posted (excludes Personal Recognizance bonds)
$30 Inmate Processing Fee per booking into the Detention Center
$30 per Outstanding Judgment Warrant (OJW)
Bonds will not be posted unless bond and fees are paid in full.
Credit cards (VISA/MC) are accepted as a form of payment for posting a bond, as long as the owner of the credit card provides a valid form of ID at the time the bond is posted.
The fee for posting a property bond is $30 dollars, plus a $6 filing fee. In order to post a property bond, all listed owners must be present, and clear equity on the property must be at least one and one-half times the amount of the bond (for example, if you wish to post a $1,000 bond, you must have at least $1,500 in clear equity on your property).
The following items are necessary to post a property bond:
1. Warranty Deed - showing proof of ownership.
2. Balance of Mortgage - states the balance owed on the property.
3. Land Assessment of Property - showing assessed value of the property. This can be obtained from 1445 Cleveland, Room 102 (Denver Properties Only).
4. Ownership and Encumbrance Report - obtainable from any title company.
If you require information regarding a defendant housed in the Denver City Jail or the Denver County Jail, you may call (720) 913-3600.
