Understanding Bond Payments at Taylor County Detention (Cash, Sureties, and Clerk's Office)

You can post bond at Taylor County Detention Center any time of day. That's useful for late-night arrests or weekend situations when you just need to get the payment handled quickly. One major exception to keep in mind: cash bonds of $10,000 or more, along with property bonds, cannot be posted at the detention center. Those must go through the Circuit or County Clerk's office, depending on the case.

Certain bonds have to be handled at the clerk's office rather than the jail. Cash bonds of $10,000 or more and all property bonds must be posted at the Circuit or County Clerk's office. Which one depends on the case. Not sure which clerk's office to go to? Start by confirming the bond type (cash amount versus property) and which court is tied to the case. From there, you can head to the correct office to post it.

Surety Partially Secured Rules

• ✓ Be a Kentucky resident
• ✓ Bring a valid Kentucky driver’s license or Kentucky ID
• ✓ Be at least 18 years old
• ✓ Be employed
• ✓ Have no pending felony charges and no felony convictions
• ✓ Not be the defendant or co-defendant in the case

With a partially secured bond, you don't pay the full amount up front. The required deposit is 10% of the bond amount. At Taylor County Detention Center, that 10% deposit has a floor: it cannot be less than $5.
