Indian River County Jail Inmate Search

Most defendants in Indian River County have a constitutional right to pretrial release on reasonable conditions, with exceptions for capital and life felonies where the proof is evident and for cases where no conditions would protect the community. Many misdemeanor and traffic arrests end with a notice to appear rather than bail. For other charges, the Florida Supreme Court’s uniform statewide bond schedule sets the minimum bond.

Need an inmate’s bail amount? Call the Indian River County Jail at 772-978-6039. The Florida uniform statewide bond schedule for 2026 lists the minimum bond for each type of offense, but local circuits may require more, and some charges can’t be bonded out until a judge holds a first appearance hearing. The county accepts cash, surety, or property bonds, or may release the offender on personal recognizance.

The Indian River County Jail is licensed for 709 inmates, but especially on weekends, it is often forced to make room for many more offenders. At most city and county jails in Florida, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, and another 25-30% turn over every 90 days. Another 15-20% turn over every six months, and approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Indian River County facilities much longer.

Law enforcement agencies in Indian River County arrest and detain approximately 15,180 offenders each year.

We’ve also gathered photos of the jail over the years that you can view.

How to pay bail in Indian River County for an arrestee

Once an individual is booked at Indian River County Jail in Vero Beach, options for their release include:

1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 772-978-6039 for the bail amount.

Bail can be paid through various methods.

• Bring the full cash bond to the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court and pay by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also take debit or credit cards for a fee through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor, and staff will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail: 772-978-6039).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Indian River County can assist with the process.
• An owner can often pledge land or a home as bond collateral by proving clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently double the bond, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail must approve the property before release.
