How Bail Bonds Work in Delaware County

Every case is different, but most Delaware County bail matters follow the same general path from arrest to release.

Bail interviews are handled by the county's Pre-Trial and Bail Service Unit, and bail is set by a Magisterial District Judge, hearing officer, or Court of Common Pleas judge.

Need help understanding the bail process?

Get Bail Now

  1. Step 1: Arrest and Processing

    After an arrest, the person is processed by the arresting agency. A bail interview with the county's Pre-Trial and Bail Service Unit usually takes place just before preliminary arraignment.

    Identifying where the person is held and which court has the case is the first step for families.

  2. Step 2: Bail Is Set

    A Magisterial District Judge, hearing officer, or Court of Common Pleas judge decides whether release is appropriate and sets the conditions.

    Conditions may be monetary or nonmonetary, such as electronic monitoring. Not every person is eligible for release on bail.

  3. Step 3: Review Bail Options

    Once conditions are set, the person or their family can review the ways to satisfy them.

    Depending on the order, that may involve a cash deposit, a surety arrangement, or another authorized method. Contact us to discuss whether bail bond assistance fits the case.

  4. Step 4: Complete Necessary Arrangements

    If a bail bond arrangement is available and approved, the paperwork, financial terms, and posting requirements must be completed.

    Understand all fees, obligations, court dates, and conditions before you sign any agreement.

  5. Step 5: Release and Court Responsibilities

    After the required procedures are complete, an eligible person may be released from George W. Hill Correctional Facility. The county lists the front parking lot on Cheyney Road as the pickup point.

    Release timing depends on the facility, the court, and any other holds. After release, every condition must be followed and every court date attended.

Posting Bail in Delaware County

The correct way to post bail depends on the case, the court's order, and current procedures. The county's Office of Judicial Support is the resource for questions about bail payments and refunds.

Where Bail Is Set

Bail is set by a Magisterial District Judge, hearing officer, or Court of Common Pleas judge, often after a bail interview by the Pre-Trial and Bail Service Unit.

Pre-Trial/Bail Service Unit(opens in a new tab)

How Bail May Be Posted

Online Bail Payment Information
