Paying bail for someone in Clatsop County

After being arrested and booked into Clatsop County Jail in Warrenton, the arrestee's situation will proceed in one of three ways:

1. They may be released without bail and required to attend a court hearing.
2. They may be held in custody until their court date.
3. Bail can be posted for their release; call 503-325-8641 for the exact bail amount.

There are multiple ways to pay bail.

  • Cash bonds are paid in full at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails let you pay by card at a lobby kiosk or with an online bond vendor for a fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number when you go, and the jail is at 503-325-8641.
  • Licensed bail bond agents in Clatsop County can facilitate the process.
  • Many courts accept a home or land as collateral for bond, as long as the owner proves clear title and equity at least equal to the bond amount (often twice it) with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
