IMPORTANT NOTICE

Your credit card statement will reflect a charge to Government Payment Service, Inc. A non-refundable GPS Service Fee will be added to all transactions, see below for details.

By using the remote bail payment system, you acknowledge that the funds being paid via your credit card become property of the defendant. Essentially, your transaction is a wire-transfer of funds to the Livingston County Jail, so the defendant can use the funds to make bail. Any receipt or bail affidavit issued for a remote bail transaction - will be made out in the defendant's name and given to him/her prior to their release. Therefore, any refund of bail by the court will be made to the defendant.
