Bail Bonds in Largo, Florida

Same Jail as Clearwater and St. Pete

Largo sits in central Pinellas County, roughly equidistant from Clearwater to the north and St. Petersburg to the south. All three cities, plus every other municipality in Pinellas, use the same jail: the Pinellas County Jail at 14400 49th Street North in Clearwater. Largo has its own police department (LPD), but all bookings process through the county facility. Use the "Who's in Jail" tool at pinellassheriff.gov to search inmates.

Central Pinellas Location Advantage

Largo's central location means shorter transport times to the Clearwater jail compared to cities at the southern tip like St. Pete Beach or Gulfport. The Largo courthouse at 10750 Ulmerton Road handles some criminal proceedings, but most felony cases are assigned to the Clearwater or St. Petersburg courthouses. For full details on the Pinellas County jail system, see our Clearwater and St. Petersburg bail bonds pages.

Largo PD and Pinellas County

The Largo Police Department (LPD) is a full-service law enforcement agency serving the city of over 84,000 residents. LPD handles all patrol, detective, and traffic enforcement within city limits. Despite being a large, active department, LPD does not operate a jail. All arrests transfer to the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater. LPD's non-emergency line is (727) 587-6730 for arrest inquiries.

Ulmerton Road Courthouse

Largo is home to a satellite courthouse at 10750 Ulmerton Road that handles traffic and some misdemeanor cases. This is closer and more convenient for Largo residents than driving to the main courthouse in Clearwater or St. Petersburg. However, most felony arraignments and bond hearings are scheduled at the Criminal Justice Center in Clearwater. Check with the Pinellas County Clerk of Court at (727) 464-7000 for your specific case assignment.

Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Pinellas County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Pinellas County bondsman who can post at the facility.
