Paying Bond for Someone at Daviess County: When to Go to the Courthouse vs. the Jail

Trying to bond someone out in Daviess County? Where you go depends on the day and time. During normal weekday business hours, bond is handled at the Judicial Center. Nights, weekends, and any other time the clerk's office is closed, you can pay bond at the jail instead (with one key difference in payment rules).

During weekday business hours, head to the Daviess County clerk's office at the Judicial Center, 100 East Second Street. The clerk's office accepts bond payments Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you're bonding someone out during those hours, start there.

Reminder: If it is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., pay bond at the clerk’s office at the Judicial Center (100 East Second Street). Going there first can help you avoid after-hours rules at the jail.

When the clerk's office is closed, you can pay bond at the Daviess County Detention Center instead. The jail accepts bond payments all day Saturday and Sunday, making it the go-to option for weekend releases. It also takes bond every day from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., plus any other time the courthouse is closed. You won't be stuck waiting until Monday morning.

Cash only: Bonds and court fines paid at Daviess County Detention Center must be paid in cash. Don't count on using a card or any other payment method at the jail.

The jail is located at 3337 Hwy 144, Owensboro, KY 42303.
