Information about an arrestee's charge(s) and bond is available by clicking the Arrest Inquiry Link on our home page, or by calling (941) 747-3011 Ext. 2851 or 2852, or by visiting the Central Jail Front Desk, which is open 24-hours-a-day, located in the lobby of the Central Jail, 14470 Harlee Road, Palmetto, Florida.

Bail and commissary funds can be mailed in or deposits can be made at the Front Desk. Cash, cashier's checks or money orders are the only accepted methods of payment for bail. Cash bonds are accepted 24-hours-a-day. When posting bail, cashier's checks and money orders must be made payable to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office Inmate Account. The inmate's booking number should be written on the money order/check.

Refunds for cash bonds can be made if the blue bond receipt and court disposition sheet that releases the bond are both presented. Bond payments and bond refunds are both processed at MCSO's Cash Bond Unit, located within MCSO's Main Jail.
