A bail bond is a contract guaranteeing the defendant will appear in court each and every time they are required, until the end of their case.

Bond pricing is fixed by Florida statutes. Any bond over $1000 dollars is 10% of the face value. Any bond under $1000 is $100. For example, if a bond is $5,000, the premium is always $500. If a bond is $750, the premium is always $100.

This is the individual, normally a relative, friend or employer who is bound by the contract to pay or reimburse any losses to the agency.

Premium is the payment to the bondsman for their services. This is non-refundable. Collateral is a type of security held in the agent's possession to ensure the contract is met. Upon completion of the defendant's case, the collateral will be returned to its rightful owner. Collateral can be cash, jewelry, mortgage deeds, titles etc.
