Back to questions ↑Bond in Citrus County
Citrus is in the Fifth Judicial Circuit. The first appearance judge reviews each arrest within 24 hours and may order:
- Release on recognizance, with no cash.
- A cash bond, paid in full and refunded at case end, minus costs.
- A surety bond, where a bondsman's fee is 10 percent and no less than $100 per charge.
