Bonds

If the Court has ordered a surety bond to be posted, you will need to contact a bail bondsman. If the Court has ordered a cash bond, it is paid at the Sheriff Department.

To receive a refund of bond money, you must:

  1. Get a release from the Court where your case was filed.
  2. Come to the Cass County Clerk's office located on the first floor of the courthouse. We are open Monday - Friday, 8am -4pm. We are closed on weekends and federal holidays. You must show a valid photo ID.
  3. Refund checks will not be written until the next business day.
The Court may order a portion or your entire bond applied to restitution or court costs. Bonds are written only in the name of the person who paid the bond. Bond refunds will be made payable to the payer of the bond money and checks will only be given to the person to whom they are made out.
