Clay County Jail Inmate Search

In Florida, including Clay County, pretrial release on reasonable conditions is a constitutional right for most people charged with a crime, except capital or life felonies where the proof is evident, or cases where no conditions can protect the community. Minor misdemeanors and traffic offenses frequently result in a notice to appear instead of bail. Most other bonds start from the Florida Supreme Court’s uniform statewide bond schedule.

Want to know an inmate’s bail? Call the Clay County Jail at 904-529-5905. If you know the charge, the Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 shows the minimum bond for each offense, although local circuits can require more. Certain serious charges mean the person must wait for a judge at first appearance, usually within 24 hours. Cash, surety, and property bonds are accepted, and release on personal recognizance is also possible.

With a licensed capacity of 490 inmates, the Clay County Jail is often forced to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida turn over at least 35-40% of their population every month. Another 25-30% turns over every 90 days and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are generally facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county stay in custody at one of the Clay County facilities much longer.

Every year, Clay County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 11,700 offenders.

How do you post bail in Clay County?

If someone is taken to Clay County Jail in Green Cove Springs for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 904-529-5905.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

• Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 904-529-5905.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Clay County can facilitate payment.
• Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.
