How to Post Cash Bail at Hennepin County Public Safety Facility: What to Bring and Where to Go
Posting cash bail comes down to showing up at the right place with the exact cash amount. Here's how it works at Hennepin County Public Safety Facility.
Head to the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility at 401 South 4th Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55415. This is where the warrants window handles bail transactions.
Plan for screening: You'll go through weapons screening before posting bail, so give yourself extra time.
The warrants window accepts cash bail 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No appointment needed - just show up and handle payment at the window.
What to Bring
- ✓ Case number or warrant number (you’ll need this to take care of a warrant; if you’re getting the number by phone, be ready to provide the person’s full name and date of birth)
- ✓ The exact bail amount in cash (no change is given)
- ✓ A plan to bring cash with you (there is no cash machine on site, and the warrants window does not accept checks, debit cards, or credit cards)
Cash only, exact amount: Bring the exact bail amount in cash. The warrants window doesn't give change, there's no ATM on-site, and they won't accept checks, debit, or credit cards.
Want to confirm the bail amount first? Call the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office at 612-348-2000. Have the case or warrant number handy - they can tell you the exact amount and walk you through the process.
- Call Hennepin County District Court at 612-348-6000 - ask for the case number or warrant number.
- Be ready with identifying information - you’ll need the person’s full name and date of birth.
