Checklist - Deposit of Real Property as Bail

Orange County Superior Court · Locally Approved Forms

Verified current as of July 16, 2026

This form is used when someone wants to use real estate they own (like a house or land) instead of money to secure their release from jail while awaiting trial. A person accused of a crime who owns property but doesn't have enough cash for bail would need this form to show the court they can pledge their real estate as a guarantee they'll return for their court dates.
