Legal Rights Related to Posting Money Bond, Pursuant to Section 16-4-102, C.R.S.

  1. Bond fees, booking fees, and other fees or debts never need to be paid to secure a persons
    release on money bond. A payor need only pay the bond amount in order to secure release.
  2. While never a basis to hold a defendant in jail, the following fees are chargeable as a debt to the
    defendant after release if the payor chooses not to pay the fees at the time of bonding: A $10
    bond fee and a maximum 3.5 % credit card payment fee. No other bond-related fees may be
    charged at any time, including kiosk fees or fees for payment by cash, check, or money order.
  3. Bond payments are to be made out to the holding county and are never to be made out in the
    name of the incarcerated person.
  4. A sheriff must/shall release a defendant within six hours after a personal recognizance bond is
    set and the defendant has returned to jail or within six hours after a cash bond has been set
    and the defendant has returned to jail and the defendant or surety notified the jail that bond
    is prepared and posted, unless extraordinary circumstances exist. In the event of a delay of
    more than six hours, a surety and the defendant have a right to know what, if any, extraordinary
    circumstance is causing the delay. Supervisory conditions of release do not justify a delay in
    release; except that a sheriff may hold a defendant for up to 24 hours if necessary to ensure a
    defendant is fitted with required electronic monitoring.
  5. Anyone who posts a money bond has a right to receive a copy of the bond paperwork, including
    documentation of the next upcoming court date.
  6. A surety may never be asked to use posted bond money to pay a defendant's debts. Only
    when defendants have posted their own money bond may they be asked if they would like to
    voluntarily relinquish bond money to pay their debts. Relinquishment of bond money by a
    defendant to pay a debt is never required and is entirely a voluntary choice by the defendant.
