At the conclusion of your case, the Clerk will withhold from the return of a cash bond, posted on behalf of a criminal defendant by a person other than a bail bond agent, sufficient funds to pay any unpaid court fees, court costs, and criminal penalties. If the amount posted is greater than the fees, costs, and penalties due, the balance will be applied to any case that remains with payment due. Otherwise, the balance will be refunded to the depositor by mail, generally within 14 days of the close of each case.
