To get a refund from a bail bond after an exoneration, the individual or their legal representative would need to contact the bail bond company. They will likely require proof of exoneration, such as a court order or document from the attorney, to process the refund. It is important to follow up with the bail bond company promptly to ensure a smooth refund process.
If you use cash to bail a defendant out of jail you are given a receipt as proof of payment. The bail money is then turned over to Finance to hold until the court issues an order allowing Finance to refund the bail to you. In most cases, the surety (the person who pays the bail) does not have to do anything to receive a bail refund. The court usually sends a refund order to Finance 5-6 weeks after the case ends. Finance automatically mails a refund check to the surety at the address listed on the bail receipt ...The surety should contact Finance if they do not receive an automatic bail refund by the 8th week after the case ended .If you contact Finance about your bail refund, please have your receipt ready to provide information ...If the defendant was convicted, Finance deducts three percent of the amount of the bail to cover administrative costs before issuing a refund. If the defendant was not convicted, Finance refunds the entire amount of the bail and does not charge any fee for holding or refunding the bail. Courts sometimes impose fees and do not explain these to Finance. In such instances, you will have to contact the appropriate court to discuss the fee ... ( depends on what state you live in )

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.
