Inmate Billing

Inmate account balances are applied to their bill upon release from Lapeer County Jail. The balance is the responsibility of the inmate and all outstanding balances will be turned over to collections, if necessary.

Lapeer County Jail will accept payment plans and/or reduced payments based on follow up communication after the inmate's release. Please see billing statements for details.

General information:
All inmates sentenced to straight time of five days or more will reimburse the Lapeer County Jail for room and board at the rate of $35.00/day. If you are un-sentenced, you will be billed for days served as un-sentenced if your Judge gives you credit for your un-sentenced time. 
Your final bill is due within 30 days of release. If the bill is paid within 30 days of release or a payment plan has been arranged, the daily rate will be discounted to $20.00 per day.
If after 30 days from your release, you have not settled your indebtedness in full, or arrangements for a payment schedule, the following options will be considered:
  • Pursuing legal action through the courts to satisfy the debt or turn your account over to a collection's agency
  • if your account is turned over to a collection agency, all correspondence, questions and payment must be directed to the collection agency. We will no longer be involved with your account and all expenses incurred by the County to collect payment will be added to your bill. 

Please direct any questions regarding lodging reimbursement billings to Corrections Officer Kayla Fackler at kfackler@lapeercounty.org  or 810-245-4791
