Otsego County Jail (Otsego County Sheriff's Office)

If your phone just rang with news that a loved one is being held at the Otsego County Jail in Gaylord, take a breath, because you've found people who can help. Bail My Tail is a family-run agency, started by Gene Butler in 1982 and now run with his son Justin, and we've spent decades guiding Michigan families through moments exactly like this one. The Otsego County Jail, operated by the Otsego County Sheriff's Office, is at 124 S. Court Avenue, Gaylord, MI 49735, and it's staffed 24 hours a day. So is our toll-free line; call 877-869-8245 whenever you need us, day or night. We'll find out the bond amount, explain your choices plainly, and post the bond so your family member can get home. Michigan law keeps surety bonds at a 10% premium of the full bail, which means you pay only that share rather than the whole amount, and we write bonds statewide. We take cash, all major credit cards, debit, and bank transfer, and we can arrange a payment plan for qualifying clients. Once we've posted the bond, release from the Otsego County Jail generally happens within about 2 to 8 hours, depending on how busy things are. You don't have to wait this out alone. Call Bail My Tail and let us go to work.
