How to pay bail in Warren County for an arrestee

Once an individual is booked at Warren County Jail in Lebanon, 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 513-695-1287 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: 513-695-1287).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Warren 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.
