Manatee is in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit. A judge holds first appearance within 24 hours, often by video:

• ROR: out on a written promise.
• Cash: the whole bond, refunded after the case minus costs.
• Bondsman: 10 percent, $100 minimum per charge, not refundable.

Bond money can't override a Sarasota or Hillsborough warrant, or a probation hold. Skip a Manatee hearing and a capias follows. See our Manatee bail page.
