Where Your Cash Bail Money Goes: How the North Las Vegas Municipal Court Returns Exonerated Bail
Posting cash bail at the North Las Vegas Municipal Court? The details you provide at the counter—especially your mailing address—matter when it's time to get that money back. Here's how cash-only bonds work and what happens when bail is exonerated.
At the North Las Vegas Municipal Court, a “cash-only” bond means exactly what it sounds like: you have to post 100% of the bail amount in cash with the Court. That full cash deposit is what secures the defendant’s release or can be used to inactivate a warrant.
Plan around the Court's hours. Cash bail is only accepted during business hours, so showing up outside that window means you won't be able to post the bond.
When bail is exonerated, don't expect cash back at the counter. The Court mails a refund check to the payor - the person who posted the money - at the address they provided when posting bail. This is why getting your name and mailing address right matters.

Note: Court information confirms the refund is mailed, but doesn't specify how long after exoneration the check goes out.
