Bail Bonds in Roxboro, NC

If someone was arrested in Roxboro, the people you need to reach are all in Person County, and almost every number starts with 336, not 919. Person County’s Sheriff operates the jail, its magistrates decide on bond, and its courthouse on South Main Street hears the case. This page lists each office and its number, explains who to call depending on which agency made the arrest, and covers video visits and deposits at the jail.

Martin’s Bail Bonds has been helping families post bail throughout North Carolina since 2006. Our own number is a 919 number, and it is answered day and night.

Who to Call First in Person County

Person County is a small county, and the offices that matter after an arrest are few. Each one handles a different question:

  • “What is the bond?” Person County says to call the Detention Center at (336) 597-0525 to ask about an inmate’s bond stipulations.
  • “Who sets the bond?” The Person County Magistrates, (336) 503-5270, decide the release conditions.
  • “When is court?” The Clerk of Superior Court’s criminal division, (336) 503-5200, at the courthouse on South Main Street.
  • “Who runs the jail?” The Person County Sheriff’s Office, 120 Court St., (336) 597-0500.

If a 336 number looks unfamiliar on your phone’s call log, it may be one of these offices calling you back.

 

Bail bond help for families after an arrest in Roxboro and Person County, NC

What Happens After an Arrest in Roxboro

  • Booking: The person is taken into custody and booked at the Person County Detention Center, which the Sheriff’s Office operates.
  • Release Conditions: A Person County magistrate decides what is needed for release, for example a secured bond and how much it will be. Under Iryna’s Law (S.L. 2025-93) magistrates have not been able to accept a signed promise to appear since December 1, 2025. For some charges and records, the law now permits release only through a secured bond or house arrest with electronic monitoring.
  • Calling Us: The person’s full name and date of birth are enough to begin. If the jail has given you the bond figure, have that ready too. We confirm the details, then sit down with the cosigner to review the agreement.
  • Release: After the bond is posted, the Detention Center handles the release. The timing depends on the case and the jail’s workload, and we stay in touch with you throughout.
  • Court in Roxboro: Court dates are held at the Person County Courthouse, 105 S. Main St.

How Much a Bail Bond Can Cost in North Carolina

The premium a North Carolina bondsman collects is limited by G.S. 58-71-95 to no more than 15% of the bond. Any collateral the bondsman asks for has to be reasonable, and it must be given back within 15 days once the bond’s liability has closed out. The cosigner agrees to help make sure the defendant attends court, so we cover that responsibility in detail before the agreement is signed.
