A Bond is a formal written agreement where a person agrees to do something (such as appear in court) or stop doing something (such as committing a crime). If the person doesn't comply with the agreement, he/she (or a "surety", also called a "bondsman") then forfeits the money paid for the Bond. The purpose of a Bond is to motivate the person to comply with the written agreement and to provide consequences if he/she doesn't. In most cases, a surety (bondsman) is involved and the Bond makes the surety responsible for the consequences of the person's behavior.
WARRANTS: If you have an active warrant in Denver, you may be able to post your bond online using this system to
clear and
address the warrant. You will still be required to read and understand the full terms, conditions and obligations of bonds before proceeding. Not all warrants are eligible to post bond online.
This system allows for the following bond types to be posted online:
- Cash Bond - The defendant or another person can pay in cash via credit card the full amount of the bond to release the defendant from custody.
- Personal Recogizance (PR Bond) - A PR bond is a signature bond that involves no money or property as long as the defendant appears at all future court dates. The defendant's signature acts as the promise to appear in court. A judge may require additional persons to sign the bond as well, to ensure the appearance of the defendant in court.
- Professional Surety (Bail Bonds) - Professional Sureties / Bail Bond Agents may register to post bonds online for applicable cases with monetary eligible bonds.
IMPORTANT: The following bond types are currently
not available in this system:
- Out of County Bonds (OC) - Bonds originating outside of Denver County Court jurisdiction.
