Bail ~ Fines

Bail, Fines, and Tickets can be paid at any time at the dispatch window of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office.  Franklin County Sheriff's Department personnel are prohibited from naming or referring any bonding agency. We accept two (2) forms of bail: cash and professional bail bonds. To use a bail bond, contact a bail agency. Bail Bond Agencies are normally required by law to collect 10% of the Bail set as a Premium. To use cash, you must bring the full amount of bail for each charge. You can call the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department to find out the amount of each charge. If you are using a check, please call the Sheriff’s Office to see who to make the check payable to (City, County, State, or other). For information on Tickets and Fines, please contact the Sheriff’s office for amounts and payment.

    Examples of Cash Accepted for Bail, Tickets, and Fines:
    Cash - Exact amount
    Cashier's check - Contact the sheriff’s Dept for whom to make the check payable to.
    Certified check - Contact the sheriff’s Dept for whom to make the check payable to.
    Personal check - Local Checks Only between the hours of 8:00AM & 3:00PM for verification of sufficient funds.
    Travelers check - Contact the sheriff’s Dept for whom to make the check payable to.
    Money order - Contact the sheriff’s Dept for whom to make the check payable to.
    Com Check - Must be verified before it is accepted.

Depending on the circumstances, it could take sometime to process an inmate, and have the bail set. Please be patient and remain calm. We will do our best to help you. The bail process will be delayed if the information on a check is not correct, or if you do not have the full amount.

Notice:
Before making a payment, make sure you have the correct change.  Our office does not keep change here.  We will not accept payment if the amount is not correct.  Please contact the Franklin County Sheriff's Office at (479) 667-4127 to find out the amount of the bail or fine.

Bail Bond Surcharges:
City $10.00
County $20.00
Both $30.00
