How bail works in Payette County
The county lists four release paths: (1) cash bond — the full amount, by money order only (no checks); (2) surety bond through a state-registered bail bondsman, whose fee is generally 10% and who usually requires collateral (the jail keeps a list of bondsmen it won't accept); (3) personal recognizance — a signed promise to appear, needing court or bond-commissioner approval; (4) book-and-release at the arresting deputy's discretion, usually for misdemeanors. Bonds are handled at the Detention Facility at the courthouse, 1130 3rd Ave. N.
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).
