Perry County Indiana Sheriff's Office

Posting Bond

Bond schedule is determined by the court. We cannot alter or change a bond amount unless dictated by the Judge.

If you would like to post bond for an inmate you may do so with Cash or Credit Card. We do not deal with property bonds here at the Detention Center. If you would like to pursue a property bond please contact an attorney.

A cash deposit of ten-percent (10%) of the surety is required to be posted for an inmate to make bail. Be aware that some offenses are “no bond” circumstances.

As pursuant to IC # 35-8-3-2(a)(2) if the defendant is convicted the court may retain all or a part of the cash deposit to pay fines, costs, fees, and restitution. Further, a portion of the cash deposit, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the monetary value of the deposit or fifty dollars ($50.00), whichever is the lesser amount, may be retained as an administrative fee. Also, five-dollars ($5.00) shall be retained for the Police Special Death Benefit Fund.

The clerk shall also retain from the cash bond under this subsection the following:
(A) Fines, costs, restitution as ordered by the court
(B) Publicly paid costs of representation shall be deposited by the clerk in the supplemental public defender fund
