What It Costs
How Much Will I Need to Pay?
The amount set by the court and the cost of using a bail agent are two different things. Here's how to tell them apart.
Bond Amount
Set by the court
Premium
The agent's service fee
The court sets the bond amount as a condition of release. The bail bond premium is the fee charged for the bond service — it is not the same as paying the full bond amount to the court.
