In most states a bail bond could be released in several ways. The most common way that a bond is released is post sentencing. Once the defendant is sentenced the judge will order the bond exonerated in open court.
The other not so common ways are as follows:
1.) The bond could be released if the defendant is arrested on the case in the same county.
2.) The court increases the bond amount.
3.) The defendant is deceased.
4.) The bond agency files a motion to exonerate the bond.
These avenues for a release of bond are not the only options but are the most common.

∙ 10y agoThe release of a bail bond is called exoneration. A bail bond is usually exonerated when the case is disposed but the court can exonerate a bail bond before case disposition by revoking it.

Can bail bond monies be returned?
yes
Do you get your money back if the bail has been exonerated?
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.
How do you get an immigration bail bond back?
If a person has skipped the country on an immigration bond, it is unlikely that it can be returned. It can generally only be returned if the person returns.
Is bail money returned when the accused gets dismissed?
it depends if you paid in full bail, or a percentage of the bail. If you go to court and your'e case is dismissed all your bond money will be returned if you paid in full. if you paid through a bondsman he will keep the percentage of the bail. Depending on what your bail is set at depends on what percentage the bondsman keeps. example you bond is $3000 you paid the jail that 3000. you would get that all back. but if you used a bondsman he would keep 300 of that 3000 which equals 10% Hope that helps
Is bail money returned when the accused turns up for trial?
if you use a bail bondsman no, if you posted the Full bail amount you will get your money back after the defendant is completed with all the court dates and when he is finally sentenced. The bond will be exonerated. no exon, no return of money.
What happens if you bail someone out of Jail and they are later found guilty?
The bond money is only to ensure that the accused shows up for court. As long as the accused attends all their court appearances, it makes no difference whether they are found guilty or not, the person putting up the bond will have it returned to them. If the services of a bail bondsman are used, the only cost will be the fee for using their services (usually somewhere around 10% of the bail amount). However - if the defendant fails to make a court appearance the bond money is forfeited to the court. Bail is a fee that is paid to the courts to ensure that a person charged with a crime will return to be tried. If the accused does not return for trial, the bail money is forfeited. If the person returns for trial, the bail money is returned. So, it is in the interest of the one paying bail to ensure that the accused returns. That is where bail bonding companies come in. For a fractional amount of the bail, they will pay your bail up front. If you return for trial, all is well (they get their money back and keep your fee). If you don't, they send a bounty hunter to find you and collect the entire amount of the bail (and turn you over to the authorities for skipping bail). But a guilty finding has no effect on the bail payer. Otherwise, bail bonding companies would all go out of business very quickly. The same is true when an individual pays bail. If you pay someone else's bail and they are later found guilty of the crime, that has no effect on the bail payer. If the person returned for trial, the bail money would have been returned to you. If you pay their bail and they skip, you lose the bail money and will have to find the person to get it from them. If they are ultimately found and tried and found guilty, they will be sentenced for their crime (jail, fine, etc.). But the person who posts bail is not affected by the verdict in the criminal case. Paying bail for an ultimately guilty person is not a crime.
If a prisoner appears in court is some of the bond money returned?
That's a private business deal between you and your bail bondsman. If the judge releases you, without bond, you will owe only the amount the bail bondsman charged for his services.
When you post bail and turn yourself in 3 days later do you still have to pay the total bail amount?
Question is unclear. Did the questioner post their own bail or did they hire a bailbondsman? Why did they surrender themselves? If they posted their own cash bond, the bond should be returned (eventually) to them. If they employed a bailbondsman, they will owe them the fee for borrowing and using his bond money.
What is the warrant called for skipping bail?
A Bench Warrant - if you fled out of state - when you are caught and arrested - you will be returned via a Writ of Extradition, sometimes called a Governor's Warrant.
