Bail bond costs are regulated by the state of Florida. The premium cost for each charge is as follows:-10% of the bail amount if it is greater than $1,000.-$100 per charge if the bail amount is less than $1,000.Licensed bail bond agents must adhere to these rates and are not permitted to charge more or less than the mandated amounts.

Once the bail process has begun, release typically occurs within 4-6 hours. However, the exact time frame depends on the specific jail’s procedures and workload.

To assist with the bail process, we require the following:

-Standard personal information (name, address) and a valid ID

-Social Security number

-Proof of employment

-For larger bonds: Collateral may be required (such as car titles or house deeds)

This information is necessary because the individual posting bail is financially responsible if the defendant fails to appear in court.

We offer a Bail by Phone option for convenience. Here’s how it works:

1. We send you an indemnity agreement via fax or email.

2. You return the signed agreement along with copies of your ID, proof of employment, and collateral information via fax or email.

3. Once we receive your documents, we process the payment over the phone.

It’s a fast and hassle-free way to secure bail for your loved one.

A surety bond is a contract involving a bail bonds agent, an indemnitor (co-signer), and the court. This bond ensures the defendant appears in court, with the bail agent taking responsibility if they fail to do so. If the defendant does not appear, the bail agent will attempt to locate and return them to court.

Cash bail means the full bail amount must be paid in cash directly to the jail for the defendant’s release.

A property bond allows individuals to use local real estate as collateral for bail. This process takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks as it requires:

- Judge’s approval

- Property appraisal

- Comparable sales comparison

- Clerk’s acceptance

Note: Most states do not accept property bonds.

Release on Own Recognizance (ROR) means the defendant is released without needing to post bail, based on their:

- Long-term residency in the community.

- Stable employment.

- Strong family and community ties.

- Low risk of flight.

This option is generally granted to first-time offenders and those facing non-violent charges.

ELMO (Electronic Monitoring) is an ankle bracelet that ensures a defendant remains within a designated area. It is typically a condition of release along with bail and is administered by local Pre-Trial Services or law enforcement agencies.

Bail is a contractual agreement where a bail bonds agent guarantees that the defendant will appear in court as required. The process includes:

1. The defendant or a co-signer (family/friend) contacts a bail agent.

2. The co-signer agrees to be financially responsible if the defendant fails to appear.

3. The bail agent posts the bond to secure release.

4. If the defendant skips court, the co-signer is liable for the full bail amount.

5. If the defendant is found and re-arrested, the co-signer covers the agent’s expenses for apprehension and transportation.
