How to Send Money to Facility

The Schuylkill County Sheriff only accepts checks or money orders. Cash and credit cards won't work. Make the check payable to "Schuylkill County Sheriff" so it gets processed without issues.

If you get a balance due letter from the Schuylkill County Sheriff, don't sit on it. You have 10 business days to pay. Miss that window, and a hold can be placed on your account, preventing you from filing any other papers in Schuylkill County until the balance is cleared.

Steps-to-follow

  • Use a check or money order (cash and credit cards are not accepted).
  • Make it payable to “Schuylkill County Sheriff.”
  • If you are paying after receiving a balance due letter, pay within 10 business days to avoid a hold that can block filing other papers in Schuylkill County.

Before mailing anything, double-check the payment method and payee name with the Schuylkill County Sheriff's office (or the instructions printed on your notice). The two things to confirm: payment must be by check or money order only (no cash, no credit cards), and the check must be made payable to "Schuylkill County Sheriff."

Note: If your payment is tied to a balance due letter, check the deadline date on that letter. The balance must be paid within 10 business days. Missing that deadline can trigger a hold that blocks you from filing other papers in Schuylkill County.
