When Can You Pick Up Property from Macomb County Jail? (Hours, 'Valuables Only', and Transfers)

Property release at Macomb County Jail is available Sunday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Show up outside that window and you'll likely have to come back another day. Plan for a morning pickup, and don't wait until the last minute if you have work, childcare, or a long drive ahead of you.

If the person is still in custody, they can authorize a "valuables only" release. At Macomb County Jail, valuables means items like keys, pagers, cell phones, wallets, and jewelry. This option exists for the things you might need right away (house keys, car keys) without releasing everything in the person's stored property.

When an inmate is transferred to prison, Macomb County Jail boxes up their property and holds it for 14 days. An authorized person needs to pick it up within that 14-day window. After that, the jail disposes of it. If you think a transfer is happening or has already gone through, don't wait.
