Is there a Time limits to get bail money returned from the court after defendant has been sentenced?
Sharonbishop
Typically one purchases a bond from a bailbondsman and the court cancels the bond once the defendant is either acquitted or is convicted and turned over to the custody of the prison system. If the court chooses it may extend bail while the defendant appeals.
If this is the case, you paid a fee to the bail bond company and you don't get it back. Otherwise if you paid cash you should be able to get it back at any time. How long you have depends on state law; there may be no limit, the court will return the money ten or twenty years later. If there is a limit I would guess there is at least one year and probably whatever the statute of limitations for suing is, three or seven years.
My guess is that since the money isn't the court's but is held in trust for the bailor, the money is repayable forever.

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).
