If you co-signed the bond, yes. If not, then you have no legal requirement to do so.

What happens if you use a bail bonds man and the person you bailed out jumps bail?
The bailbondsman is going to send a skiptracer/bounty hunter after him and return by whatever means. Believe me, the bailbondsman does not intend to lose his bail money to che court without a strong effort to get hm back. As for you - if you paid the bondsman's customary fee - you can kiss it goodbye - you won't get it back.
Do you have to pay a bail revocation?
You will have to pay the bailbondsman's fee for the use of his services (and money). You DID use his services. The fact that your bail was revoked is not his fault.
If a person jumps bail can the court take your property?
If you put the property up to secure the bail money, yes, the bail provider can take it with a court order.
Who is the obligee in a bail bond?
The bailbondsman. An obligee is someone owed an act or deed, such as being payed money on a promissory note or contract
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.
When is a bail jumping is official?
Don't know what you mean by "official," but it is NEVER lawful. Bail is 'surety' (money or property) that a person will appear in court to answer charges. If the person fails to appear in court not only will the court issue a warrant for their arrest, but the bailbondsman will want to get him as well, in order to recover his 'surety' (his investment).
Who is responsible for the bail money if a person skips bail?
Whoever put up the bond will have to forfeit the entire amount of the bond set by the court. If it is a bailbondsman, he can, and will, get it back when he finds you and presents you to the court. If your family/friends/etc, put up the money they will lose the entire amount. Even if you manage to skip and stay undetected and later decide to turn yourself in on your own, the bail money will still remain forfeited and it will not be returned.
Would you get all the bail money back after trial is over?
If you, yourself, put up the money, yes, you will get the remainder after fines, fees, or costs (if any) are deducted.Added: If you used the services of a bailbondsman, the money that was paid (usually around 10% of the bail amount) was the bondsman's fee, and you will not get that back.
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 bail and bail bonds work?
You put up property or pay the amount of cash required. If you show up for your court date, you get your money returned to you. If you have to hire a bailbondsman, he keeps a certain percentage of the amount as his fee. If you do not appear your bail is forfeited and you are arrested.
If Charges are dropped and bail is exonerated do you have to pay remaining bail to the bailbondsman?
Yes. When you use the services of a bail bondsman you are, in effect, "renting" his services to pay your bond. Whether you are exonerated or not, it is a legitimate debt and you still need to pay the the bail bondsman for the use of his money.
Can a person in Calif out on bail leave the state for a few days?
Not if your release papers don't allow it. ESPECIALLY not without notifying your bailbondsman or he'll think you're "skipping" on him.
