Procedure for bail bondsmen for Oakland County courts
Pursuant to MCLA 750.167(b), the Judges of the Circuit Court are to annually compile and maintain an up-to-date list of the names of persons engaged in the business of becoming surety upon bonds for compensation in criminal cases. The Court will circulate the list to the appropriate agencies in accordance with the statute.
Accordingly, the Court Administrator has prepared two applications for bondsmen: one for persons backed by insurance and the other for persons backed by real property. Persons or businesses may apply for inclusion on the list under either category or both. Copies of the bail bondsman application are available in the Court Administration Office. All applications for the 2011 Bail Bondsman List must be requested through the Court Administration Office, 1200 North Telegraph Road, Pontiac Michigan 48341 and submitted no later than October 29, 2010.
