How to Post a Cash Bond in Pinellas County, FL

Did you know you can now post a cash bond at the Pinellas County Jail using a credit or debit card for bond payments of up to $2,500 through the GovPayNow program? The $2,500 limit is on a per charge basis.

Although GovPayNow adds a non-refundable service fee to all transaction, that charge is typically cheaper than using a bail bondsman. For example, if you post a $500 bond, the service fee might be $35 for a total amount of $535.00.

At the end of the case, the $500 might be refunded but only the $35 service fee is not refundable. After the money is posted, GovPayNet will send an automated notice of payment to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.

For amounts higher than $2,500, cash bonds are accepted in the full amount of the bond. In order to post a cash bond, you will need to present a valid photo I.D. All bank checks, Travelers’ Checks and Money Orders must be made payable to the “Clerk of the Circuit Court.”

Procedures for Setting Bond in Pinellas County

Section four provides the following procedures are implemented for setting bond for defendants at those Pinellas Counties receiving facilities housing defendants. The administrative order provides:

A. Arresting Officer–Function at Booking Desk.

2. The arresting officer shall specifically ask the defendant for his or her current residence address. The arresting officer shall not rely upon any identification furnished by the defendant, unless the defendant is unable to verbally advise the officer of the address.

3. The arresting officer shall leave the bond portion of the complaint affidavit blank, unless the defendant was arrested upon a warrant, in which case the bond set on the warrant shall be entered.

4. For any arrest which has been made based upon probable cause with no warrant involved and where the arresting officer possesses specific reason(s) to believe that a bond, in an amount higher or lower than the amount established pursuant to this Administrative Order should be set, the arresting officer may personally contact a judge and said judge may set a bond outside of the provisions of this Administrative Order. The arresting officer shall enter the amount of bond, as set by the judge, upon the complaint affidavit specifically annotating which judge approved the bond amount.

B. Booking Officer–Function.

1. For the purposes of this Administrative Order, the term “booking officer” means the employee of the receiving facility who receives the prisoner from the arresting officer.

2. For persons charged with an ordinance violation or a first or second degree misdemeanor, the booking officer may issue a Notice to Appear (NTA) in accordance with Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.125 if the booking officer determines that there is a likelihood that the accused will appear as directed and the defendant is not otherwise required to be held.

3. The booking officer shall specifically ask the defendant to verify his or her current residence address. The booking officer shall not rely on any address listed on any identification in the possession of the defendant, unless the defendant is unable to verbalize his or her address.

4. If the arrest is based upon a warrant, the booking officer shall confirm that the bond on the warrant has been correctly placed on the complaint affidavit, and, if not, enter the bond amount set out in the warrant.

5. If the defendant is being booked by virtue of an arrest based on probable cause, the booking officer shall enter the bond amount on the complaint affidavit, in the space provided for that purpose.

6. With every defendant, the booking officer shall follow the recommended bond set forth by this Administrative Order for the particular degree of crime charged unless the booking officer determines:

a. that a lower bond or ROR is more appropriate than the recommended bond in which case the booking officer may set the bond down to the lower end of the bond schedule, or

b. that a higher bond is more appropriate than the recommended bond based on the guidelines set forth in this Administrative Order in which case the booking officer may set a higher bond up to the maximum allowable pursuant to this Administrative Order.

In order to increase the bond the booking officer must specifically set out, in writing on the complaint affidavit one or more of the aggravating factors enumerated below; or

c. that the arresting officer has contacted a judge pursuant to A.4. above and a judge has authorized a bond different from this Order.

7. Aggravating factors which the booking officer is permitted to consider when an increase in the bond amount is contemplated are:

a. At the time of arrest, the defendant had committed more than one offense.

c. The defendant has a prior criminal record.

g. The arresting officer or booking officer has reason to believe that should the defendant be released from custody, the defendant would not return to Court when summoned.

If the booking officer finds aggravating factors (f) or (g), the basis for those aggravating factors should be stated in writing on the complaint advisory affidavit.

C. Range of Bond–Recommended Amount. For offenses added to the statutes subsequent to the date of this Order, these ranges of bonds will be used for the new offenses, unless otherwise provided in a subsequent administrative order.
