Yes. He put his moneyup for you, didn't he? In simple terms you 'rented' his money for your cash bond, for which he is entitled to payment for the length of time he had it 'at risk.'

When are you free from obligations to bail bondsman is it when you are sentenced or after you have completed your sentence in CA?
In California, you are free from obligations to a bail bondsman once you have completed your court appearances and the case is closed. This can happen after you have been sentenced, but it can also occur if your case is dismissed or if you are acquitted.

Bail is just for when you are in jail before you have been sentenced.
Do you have to pay bail bond after you are sentenced?
A bail bond is an insurance policy purchased to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court. Once the defendant has been sentenced, the trial is over and any bail bonds are generally "exonerated" by the court, meaning that the insurance company is no longer responsible for guaranteeing the defendant's appearance. The only reason to get a bail bond after sentencing would be if the case was on appeal, and the defendant was trying to stay out of jail while the appeal is pending. That said, if you still owe the bail bondsman money, by all means YES! You need to pay the bondsman's fee (called the premium).
Do you still owe the bail bondsman 10 percent after you have been sentenced?
No. If you employ the services of a bail bondsman, you would contact him/her just after arrest or after a bond has been set. You (usually via family members) would pay them 10% toward your bond amount, and they, in turn, secure your release. If you show up for court as required, your bond is released, the bondsman keeps his 10%, and you complete your trial. If you do not show up for court, the state comes back to the bondsman for the full amount of bond. In that case, the bondsman comes after you for it (usually via bounty hunter).
When is bail is exonerated?
Bail can be exonerated by the judge at the very beginning of court proceedings or until the defendant is sentenced. It's at the discretion of the court. Usually bail is exonerated when the defendant is close to a settlement with the prosecutors. Or, when he is no longer a flight risk. As it is to the courts benefit to have Joe Bondsman look for the defendant in case he misses court instead of exonerating the bond and now the police have the sole responsibility to locate the defendant.
What is the role of a bail bond agent?
A bail bond agent is a person or corporation that will act as a surety and pledge for money or property as bail for the appearance of an accused person in court. However, this is a less common type of surety, banks and insurance companies usually play the role of sureties.
Do you get your money back if the bail has been exonerated?
No, BAIL money is not returned, if you use a BAIL BONDSMAN, If you post the FULL BAIL AMOUNT with the clerk of the jail or court they will refund your money and proceedings are over and the defendant is finally sentenced. Paying a bondsman is usually ten percent of the bail money that the court sets. This is their fee that they charge in the event that you do not have the full amount of bail that the court sets. Bail is used to insure that someone will show up to their court hearing. If they show up and are there throughout the trial, at the end, whether they are guilty or innocent, the bail money is returned.
how do you know who posted your bail?
If the bail is paid through the bail bonding agency, contacting the bail bondsman responsible should provide you with the information. However, if the person providing the fund and collateral is not related to the inmate, the bail bondsman may not reveal the identity for the reason of privacy. For example, a criminal organization may wish to bail its agents through a proxy, without revealing its identity. If you are the victim of a crime and are interested in whether the crime perpetrator has been bailed, you may contact the police or district attorney's office. Lastly, for other cases where family members may have posted the bail, contact the clerk responsible for your case at the courthouse should be sufficient.
