Posting Bond at Jackson County Detention: Where to go, how to verify amounts, and payment options

For Jackson County Court bonds during business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), head to Criminal Records at 1315 Locust St., Kansas City, MO. County bonds must be posted there in person during those hours.

Before you go anywhere, verify the bond amount by phone. Call 816-881-4201, press 1 for Records, then press 4 for Bond Info. Takes two minutes and saves you from showing up with the wrong total.

Need to pay outside business hours? You can post bond 24/7 online through Access Corrections. Expect additional fees - the final charge will be higher than the bond amount itself.

Prefer to pay by phone? Call 1-866-345-1884 anytime - this line is available 24/7 for card payments.

There's also an on-site kiosk at 1300 Cherry St., Kansas City, MO. You can use it for cash deposits toward bond or other account deposits.

That same kiosk at 1300 Cherry St. takes credit and debit cards too - helpful if you don't have the full amount in cash.

• ✓ Expect a 7% vendor fee when you use the on-site kiosk.
• ✓ If you’re paying cash at the kiosk, bring bills other than $1s - the machine does not accept $1.00 bills.
