No. A bail bond is a form of insurance. The person posting the bond makes a payment to the bondsman, who then guarantees the full amount of the bail if the person bailed doesn't appear for court. The fee paid to the bondsman is like an insurance premium. It isn't returned, the same way that your auto insurance company doesn't give back your insurance premium if you go the term of the policy without having an accident.
If you post the full amount of the bail in cash, the court returns that money (sometimes less any fines or court costs) when the case is concluded and the accused is no longer under the court's jurisdiction.
