Fayette County Sheriff's Office and Jail
Search results show Fayette closing at 4:30pm. That is the administrative office. The jail itself takes bookings around the clock, and a bond can be posted outside office hours. Do not let the listed hours stop you from calling at night.
Four things let us start on the first call instead of the second: the full name of the person in the Fayette County jail, confirmation that Fayetteville is where they were taken, their booking number, and what they were charged with. If you only have a name, call anyway. We can usually find the rest.
Once the charge is booked, bail is either set from the county's standing bond schedule or by a judge at a hearing. We confirm the amount with the jail, tell you the premium before you pay anything, and post the bond. A Georgia bail bond premium typically runs 10% to 15% of the bond amount and it is a fee, not a deposit. Some bonds also require collateral, which is released once the case ends.
After release, the defendant has to appear at every court date and follow the conditions set by the court and by us. Do that and the bond is exonerated when the case is over, whatever the verdict.
Fayette County Superior and State Courts are at the Justice Center on Stonewall Avenue West, Fayetteville.
About 40 minutes west of Jackson. If you are already at the jail in Fayetteville, tell us and we will meet you there where we can. If you are out of the area entirely, or out of state, the paperwork and payment can be handled over the phone or electronically.
Call with the name and the charge. We will confirm the bond amount and tell you the premium before you commit to anything.
