Nothing. the court gets no money from bondsman. At least not here in California.

We only pay the court for summary judgments. When the bond is forfeited and

we must pay the bond. And usual court fees, but that's it.

Do you get money back from bail bondsman?

No. When posting bail (bond) you pay a bondsman an amount negotiated usually 10% of the total bail amount. Example $50,000 bail, you pay the bondsman $5,000 then put up co-lateral worth $50,000 and the bondsman is the one to pay the State/Court the balance. If the person on bail forfeits (skips out) on the bail then the collateral becomes property of the bondsman. The original $5,000 is how the bondsman earns his living.


What is the purpose of paying bail without using a bail bondsman?

When you use a bondsman to pay, say $10,000 bail, he usually charges 10%. You pay $1,000 to him. He then pays the court $10,000 (your bail). When you return to court and get convicted/released he gets his $10,000 back. He made $1,000. If you pay the $10,000 bond, you get the $10,000 back. Thus saving you the 10% (minus any court costs/fines). So if you can afford it, pay the bond yourself, it's cheaper.

How much of the 10 percent does the bail agent give the bonding company?

There are several types of bail agents or bondsmen as they are commonly called. The most common bondsman works unders a surety (insurance) company. They are licensed insurance agents. The bondsman will pay any where from 10 to 20% of the bail bond premium fee , ( the 10% of the face value of the bail bond), they collect from a client, to their surety company. In other words, the bondsman gets to keep 80 to 90 percent of the bail bond premium fee they collect. The rest goes to the surety company. Another type of bondman is a professional of property bondsman. In this case the bondsman pledges real property with the state of county that they wish to operate in, as collateral to gaurantee that they can pay off any bond they write if the defendant skips bail. This bondsman, keeps the full amount of the bail bond premium fee that he or she collects. The last and least common type of bondsman is one that pledges cash or securities with the state or county they operate in in. Again, this collateral is used to guarantee the ability of the bondsman to pay off a bail bond if the defendant fails to appear and can not be located and returned to court or jail. Since this bondsman is pledging his or her own money, they keep the full amount of the bail bond premium fee collected. The term bondsman is gender neutral. Slightly over half of the bail agents in the U. S. are women.


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).


Can a bail bondsman garnish your cosigners wages after you are serving your sentence?

If they receive a court order that allows it, yes. You, and the cosigner, made an agreement with a private company. The private company would pay your bail if you agreed to show up to all of your court dates AND pay them a certain percentage (usually 10-15%) of the bail. The private company is entitled to its payment.

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).


If a person has a bail amount of 30 thousand dollars and a bond is 10 percent which is 3 thousand dollars how much does the person paying the bond get back if the acussed is found not guilty?

The person paying the bond does not get anything back. The purpose of paying a bond is so you don't have to come up with the full amount of the bail. The 10% that you pay a bondsman it what he earns for guarnteeing you will appear in court. If you don't appear then the bondsman loses the full amount of the bail.
