Posting Bond at Gwinnett County Jail: Accepted Payment Types, Exact-Cash Rule, and Online Options

Gwinnett County Jail accepts U.S. cash, money orders, traveler's checks, and certified bank checks for bond payments. Foreign currency and personal checks are not accepted. Make sure you have one of these payment types ready before you go.

Paying a cash bond? Bring the exact dollar amount. The jail does not give change. If you show up with more than the bond amount expecting change, you'll lose time scrambling for another way to pay. Double-check the amount before you head out.

Gwinnett County Jail offers an online option for cash bonds through cashbondonline.com. The site lets you use a credit card to post the cash bond.

Timing matters. You can only post bond after booking and identification are complete, so expect a wait before anyone can accept payment and start the release process.

Once booking and identification are done, detainees are placed in a holding area with access to collect calling phones. That's typically how they can reach out and help coordinate bond and release arrangements.

Judges and the court system set bond amounts, not the Sheriff's Office. Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office personnel cannot lower a bond amount or change court-ordered bond conditions.

Considering a property bond? Gwinnett County Jail accepts real property only. Titles for mobile homes and vehicles are not accepted. The property can be located anywhere in Georgia, but ownership and equity amounts are verified before the bond is approved.

• ✓ A current tax notice for the property being used as collateral
• ✓ A current mortgage statement for the same property (presented when the bond is being obtained)
