What You Need To Know...

There isn’t a single statewide “2026 Nevada bail schedule” document for all courts. Bail schedules are set by each court/jurisdiction (especially Clark County/Las Vegas Justice Court) and are updated as needed.

We can outline the current 2026 Las Vegas / Clark County Bail framework and the most current bail amounts being used by the Las Vegas Justice Court which are updated periodically.

Remember that the fees are subject to the District Judge and the charges applied to the defendant.

- Domestic-related cases

What Actually Matters

The “schedule” is just the booking number:
