Bail Bond Information

The bail process in Adams County works similar to the bonding process in the surrounding areas. A judge will set bail then once terms have been negotiated with the bail bondsman, the bail bonding agency can post the agreed upon amount after making an appointment with the jail to post the bond.

A majority of misdemeanors and some felonies allow for the defendant to be released on bail after paying the required $10.00 bail posting fee. Once the bail is posted in Adams County generally takes between 4 and 12 hours to get released.

After release, you will be required to abide by all the rules and regulation set by the court and the bail bondsman until your hearing date.
