It depends on who it was that actually put up the bond amount. If it was you, family, a friend, etc, the bail will be refunded by the court since it is no longer necessary to hold it as insurance that you will appear in court. HOWEVER - if the bond was posted by a bailbondsman, the fee that he charged you is NOT refundable. The fee he charges is for putting his money "at risk." the fact that you weren't a risk, is immaterial, he still tied his money up in you.

∙ 11y agoIf you get a bail bond through a licensed bail agent and pay that agent a bail bond premium (typically 10%-15% of the total bond...so a $10,000 bond would have a premium payment of $1000-$1500) that premium is not refundable. Just like any other insurance policy you purchase the premium you pay the company is not refundable.
Added: On the other hand - if your bond was posted by private funds (e.g.: personal funds supplied by your spouse - family - friends - business partner - etc) as long as you fulfill all your court obligations, the full amount of the bond that they posted, minus any court fees and fines (if applicable), will be returned to them at the end of the court process.

If out on bail and arrested for something else does the bail money return to the person who posted it?
I am in the same situation. My fiance was arrested, but I had posted bail. Then probation violated him, so now he is incarcerated yet my bail has not been released for the previous arrest. The time he has served does not account towards anything because technically he is out on bail. How do I go about getting this bail revoked so the clock can start ticking ?
