Posted Bail

The Horseheads Village Justice Court shall charge a fee of three (3) percent of the amount of cash bail in connection with a criminal action or proceeding.

When a criminal action or proceeding is “terminated in favor of the accused”, the bail will be returned fully to the person who originally posted such bail. If the original bail is reduced prior to disposition, the 3% poundage will be retained upon the original amount of bail, returnable only if the action is terminated in favor of the accused.
