View and Pay Bond

A bond can be paid with or without a bail bond agent. You may choose to use the services of a bail bonds agent of your choice. Bonds can also be paid without the assistance of a bail bond agent via cashier’s check, money order or online at www.osceolabail.com.

The release process begins once a bond or purge has been paid. The time to process a release can take approximately 4-6 hours or possibly longer, as there are many factors involved in the process.

An Initial Appearance is the first court hearing where a judge decides bond and/or pretrial release conditions. However, release may be denied in certain situations. For example, if the defendant violated probation, failed to appear in court, faces charges punishable by life or death, or if the State Attorney’s Office demonstrates that releasing the defendant would endanger the public.

Judges from both Orange and Osceola Counties rotate responsibility for conducting these hearings. Initial Appearances are typically held Monday through Friday at 1:30 p.m., and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays at 10:30 a.m.

To verify hearing schedules, visit osceolaclerk.com and select "Court Docket" from the homepage. 

When formal charges are filed with the Clerk’s Office, you will be notified by mail of an arraignment date. If you bonded out of jail, your bondsman will be notified as well. All notices will be sent to the address that was given at the time of arrest.
