Q: How much does a bail bond cost?
A:
Most bail bond premiums (fee) start at 10 percent of the full bail amount. For example, if the full bail amount is $50,000, the premium for the bail bond is $5,000. These fees are established by the surety companies and regulated by the Department of Insurance.
Q: What will I need in order to secure a bail bond?
A: In addition to the required bail bond premium, you will need proper identification, such as a pay stub or other verification of employment. The bail bond agent will also need personal information from you such as your Social Security number, birth date, driver’s license number, address, phone numbers, employer’s name, address and phone, and any other information deemed necessary to help determine whether you qualify as an indemnitor (co-signer).
Q: Is the bail bond premium refundable?
A: Once the bail bond is posted and accepted by a court or jail, liability is taken on the bail bond. At that point, the bail bond premium is fully earned and is not refundable.
Q: How long is a bail bond good for?
A: A bail bond is valid up to one year. If the case goes beyond the one year, the premium must be repaid in order to keep the bail bond current.
Q: Who is liable for the bail bond?
A: The indemnitor is financially liable for the bail bond. The indemnitor’s liability is limited to the full face value of the bail bond. Note: It is very important the indemnitor feels confident the defendant will appear at all of his/her court appearances or posting a bail bond is not recommended.
