How bail works in Ada County
Bail is paid at the counter in the lobby of the main Sheriff's Office building, 7200 Barrister Drive (the jail is on the same campus). Pay by cash, cashier's check, or money order, or post through a bail bond service — personal checks and credit cards are not accepted, and there's an ATM in the lobby. A $25 administrative fee applies to each bond; multiple charges usually mean a separate bond and fee per charge unless a judge combines them. Bond amounts are listed right on the online roster's Bail column.
Idaho allows licensed bail bond agents; a bond agent posts the full bail for a non-refundable premium they quote up front. You can also pay the full amount yourself directly to the jail or court, and it is returned when the case ends if all court dates are met (minus any fees the court applies).
