Can I post property or bank securities in lieu of cash?

Occasionally, at the discretion of the Judge imposing the bond, property or securities may be substituted for cash. However, local court rules as well as financial guidelines of the U.S. Courts must be followed when the substitution is granted. The defendant's attorney should contact the Financial Department of the U.S. District Clerk's Office for instructions prior to presenting the request to the Court.
