Warrant Bail Bonds in Polk County
Knowing there is a warrant out for you is its own kind of stress. Turning yourself in with a bond already arranged is almost always faster and easier than waiting to be picked up. We can help you do it the smart way.
Why a Planned Surrender Is Almost Always Better
Waiting for an arrest to happen on its own timeline, at work, at home, during a traffic stop, adds stress and uncertainty that a planned surrender avoids. When we know a warrant is active, we can often have the bond ready to go before you ever walk through the door, which usually means far less actual time spent in custody.
Nobody plans to end up here, and we are not going to make you feel worse about it. Our job is to make the process as fast and as painless as it can be.
The Planned Surrender Process
1. Call Us First
Tell us what you know about the warrant. We will help confirm the details and the bail amount, if one has already been set.
2. We Prepare the Bond
Whenever possible, we get the paperwork ready ahead of time so there is nothing left to arrange after booking.
3. You Surrender on Your Terms
You turn yourself in at a time we help you plan for, with the bond ready to move as soon as booking is complete.
Common Types of Warrants
Not sure what kind of warrant you might have? Here is the short version:
Bench Warrant
Usually issued when someone misses a court date or fails to follow a court order.
Capias Warrant
Issued to bring someone into custody, often after formal charges have been filed.
Either type can usually be resolved with a planned surrender. Call us and we will explain what applies to your situation.
Estimate a Warrant Bail Bond
If the warrant already lists a bail amount, enter it below for a starting estimate. If you are not sure, call us and we will help you find out.
Florida sets a $100 minimum fee, so any bail amount under $1,000 will still show $100 below. At that minimum, the fee is due in full, with no payment plan.

Warrant Bail Questions
How do I find out if I have a warrant in Polk County?
Call us with your name and any case details you have. We can often help you find out, and either way we can talk through your options without judgment.
Is it better to turn myself in than wait to be arrested?
Often, yes. A planned surrender lets us have the bond ready before you walk in, which usually means far less time actually spent in custody compared to an unplanned arrest.
Can a bond be arranged before I turn myself in?
In many cases, yes, especially when the warrant already lists a bail amount. We can prepare the paperwork ahead of time so release happens as quickly as possible after booking.
What is the difference between a bench warrant and a capias warrant?
A bench warrant is usually issued when someone misses a court date. A capias warrant is issued to bring someone into custody, often after charges are filed. Both can usually be resolved with a planned surrender.
Is the bail bond fee still 10% for a warrant surrender?
Yes. Florida law caps the bail bond fee at 10% of the bail amount, whether someone is arrested on the spot or surrenders on a warrant.
Not Sure Which Jail You'll Be Taken To?
