These are two different payments. The full bail amount is set by the court. If it is paid directly to the court in cash, it is refunded after the case ends, as long as every court date was kept. The bail bond fee, 10% of that amount, is paid to us instead. It is our fee for posting the bond on your behalf, and it is not refunded, even if the case ends well.

They must go to every court date. They should also tell us right away if their address or phone number changes, and follow any conditions the judge set, such as no contact orders. If they miss a court date, the full bail amount can be forfeited, and they can be arrested again.

A transfer bond moves a bail bond from one Florida county to another, such as when someone is arrested in Polk County but their case, or another warrant, is in a different county. It lets one bond cover both situations instead of posting a second bail. Call us if this applies to you, it depends on the counties and charges involved.
