We post the bail bond at the Main Jail, 24 hours a day.
The Ventura police station holds people only briefly. They are booked at the Main Jail in Ventura, where bail bonds are accepted 24 hours a day.

Bail or a bail bond?
Paying the full bail yourself
You can pay the full bail amount instead of using a bond. The Sheriff accepts the exact amount in cash, a cashier’s check made payable to the Ventura County Superior Court, or a credit or debit card. The deposit is returned after the case ends.
Using a bail bond
You pay us a premium, a percentage of the bail, and we post a bond for the full amount. Most families choose a bond because it costs far less up front. See what a bail bond costs.
