How To Post Bail In Hennepin County
When someone is arrested in Hennepin County, they are brought to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center at 350 South 5th Street in Minneapolis. After the booking process is complete, bail is either set by the booking officer based on a standard schedule or held until a judge can set it at a first appearance hearing.
Once bail is set, you can call us and we will start the release process right away. Here is what you need:
- The defendant's full legal name and date of birth
- The jail where they are being held (HCADC for most Hennepin County arrests)
- The bail amount (we can look this up if you do not have it)
- Payment for the 10% bail bond premium
How Much Bail Costs In Hennepin County
Minnesota law sets the bail bond premium at 10% of the bail amount. If bail is set at $5,000, you pay $500. If bail is $20,000, you pay $2,000. The premium is earned once the bond is posted and is not refunded when the case ends.
Payment plans are available. If you cannot pay the full premium upfront, ask about our options when you call.
