Misdemeanor and traffic cases are handled by the Darke County Municipal Court (504 South Broadway, Suite 7, Greenville), which sets bond for those offenses and for the initial appearance on felonies. Per the Municipal Court's official Bond information, the court recognizes three bond types: surety/corporate bond (posted with a bonding agency for a fee; the court does not receive this money), cash bond (full amount paid in cash, used after hours), and own-recognizance (O.R., where the defendant signs a written promise to appear). Ohio law requires a non-refundable $25.00 fee at the time any bond is posted. Felony cases are bound over to the Darke County Court of Common Pleas after a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment, where that court sets or revisits bond.
