How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
If you need to handle money related to Obion County Jail or county payments, start by separating county fees from inmate deposits. For county taxes and other county accounts, Obion County lists several ways to pay: by mail (P.O. Box 147), in person at the Trustee's office, at the satellite drive-thru at 324 S. First Street (check only, with a 24-hour drop-off), by phone at 1-877-590-1417, or through Auto Draft. Credit card payments for tax accounts (Visa, MasterCard, Discover) are accepted, but the processor charges a 2.5% fee. For court-related payments, the clerk's office does not accept personal checks, and online court payments through courtfeepay.com include a 3% or $3.00 fee. To add money to someone in custody, use the facility's approved kiosk, online/app, phone, or mail options. Expect vendor fees at checkout.
