Frequently Asked Questions About Zona Long Bail Bonds
What is a surety bail bond?
A surety bail bond is a legal agreement involving three parties: the court, the bail bondsman, and the indemnitor. The bondsman assures the court that the accused will attend all future court appearances upon release. The indemnitor, in turn, guarantees the bondsman that they will ensure the defendant's court attendance. For this service, the bondsman charges a percentage of the total bond amount. For more information, please contact Zona Long Bail Bonds.
How much does a bail bond cost?
In Florida state court, the minimum premium for a bail bond is $100, as stated by the Legal Information Institute. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that bail bond companies typically charge 10% of the full bail amount, plus collateral. For more details about our bail bond services, please call our office.
Is the premium refundable?
According to Florida law, the bail bond fee is non-refundable once the bond is posted and the defendant is released or transferred to another facility. If you need assistance from a bail bondsman, please contact our team.
What can be used as collateral?
Acceptable forms of collateral include property, land, titles, or cash. In certain cases, bank CDs, stocks, and bonds may also be accepted. For more information about our 24-hour bail bond services and collateral options, please reach out to one of our bail bondsmen.
What is collateral?
Collateral refers to any valuable asset provided to the bail agent as security for the bond. To discuss your bail bond needs and potential collateral options, please contact our experienced team.
When is the collateral returned?
The collateral is returned after the bail agent receives a bond discharge from the court. This document officially releases the bail agent from further responsibility for the bond. Based on our experience, it typically takes between 7 to 21 days for the bail bondsman to receive the discharge once the case concludes.
How long does it take to get released from jail?
In our experience, county jails usually process the release of a defendant within 2 to 8 hours after the bond is posted. However, in some cases, due to high volume, it may take up to 12-24 hours. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible to arrange for bail bond services.
How do I know when the defendant has to go to court?
Courts notify defendants of their court dates by mail. As a courtesy, most jurisdictions also inform the bail bondsman of court dates, either by mail or phone. However, it remains the responsibility of the defendant and their representatives to ensure awareness of and appearance at all court dates.
