The following Bond Types are acceptable for inmates in the Rabun County Detention Center

Rabun County Property Bond

A person can use the equity in their home as a bond. The inmate being bonded cannot be the owner of the property being put up as bond. All persons named as owners on the property must be present and have proper identification. The equity in the home must meet or exceed the entire amount of the bond. For bond amounts over $10,000.00, proof of equity must be provided; this can be obtained from your mortgage company. The property must be current on property tax payment.

Transfer Property Bond from another County

A person(s) may use property they own in another county to post bond. Contact the Sheriff’s Office in the county in which the property is owned for information on their requirements for obtaining a transfer bond. You will be given a sealed envelope, Do not open it; bring it to the Rabun County Detention Center.

Cash Bond

Cash in the exact amount of the bond amount may be used to bond the inmate out.

Bonding Company or Bondsman

There is a list of approved bonding companies posted in the lobby of the Detention Center. The bonding companies typically charge a percentage of the total bond amount as their fee. Bonding companies are private businesses, choose any company you like from the approved list and consult them on the requirements for them posting a bond.

A Bonding Fee of $20.00 is charged on all county bonds and must be in the form of correct cash.

Contacting the inmates’ attorney is the best way to find out when an inmate will be going to court.

Court dates are set by the court of jurisdiction over the charges (Clayton, Dillard, Mountain City, Probate, Superior). For example, a Probate charge would be handled by the Probate Judge, and the court date would be set by Probate Court.

Probation or Parole Violations are settled in a variety of ways. Questions about court dates for an inmate whose only charge is a Violation of Probation or Parole should be directed to the inmate’s Probation or Parole Officer.
