Why a Plant City Case Ends Up in Two Places
This confuses many families. The arrest and booking happen in Tampa, at Orient Road Jail, because Hillsborough County books every arrest centrally. The court case may come back east. Under the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit’s East Division order, misdemeanor and criminal traffic cases for offenses committed in eastern Hillsborough County, including Plant City, are heard at the Plant City Courthouse. The East Division’s border follows US 301 in the north and a set of roads farther south, so not every east-county case goes there. Felonies are not heard in Plant City; they go to the Criminal Courthouse Annex in downtown Tampa.

Cost and Payment
Florida law fixes the premium at 10% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum per charge. A $500 misdemeanor bond costs $100; a $7,500 felony bond costs $750. Ask about payment plans; many bonds need no collateral for a qualified co-signer.
Near the Polk County Line?
Plant City sits on the Hillsborough–Polk line. An arrest a few miles east, in Lakeland or elsewhere in Polk, is booked in Winter Haven instead, under the Polk system. Our Lakeland office handles those bonds, and one call to either number reaches a licensed agent.
