Bond Procedures

Whenever someone is arrested and booked into the Trussville Municipal Jail on a misdemeanor offense they are given the opportunity to post a bond. The bond amount is determined by a bond schedule which is approved by the court. If they are charged with a Felony offense, they can not post bond until they are transferred to the Jefferson County Jail and Bail is set.

If you wish to post bond for a Trussville inmate charged with a misdemeanor offense, during regular business hours you should see one of the magistrates on duty. Their office is in the City Administrative offices located in the front of City Hall. After regular business hours, the Jailer on duty will take care of you.
