Are Bail Bondsmen Allowed To Keep The 10% Fee?

Are Bail Bondsmen Allowed To Keep The 10% Fee?

Yes, bail bondsmen are allowed to keep the 10% fee, as it is their non-refundable service charge for posting bail on behalf of a defendant.

  • The 10-15% fee is the bondsman’s profit and is not returned, even if the defendant appears in court or the case is dismissed.
  • This fee compensates the bail bond company for taking on the financial risk of guaranteeing the defendant’s bail.
  • If the defendant fails to appear, the bondsman may lose the full bail amount unless they locate and return the defendant to custody.
