Frequently Asked Questions About Bail Bond Costs
What is the typical bail bond fee in California?
Bail bond agents in California typically charge a non-refundable fee of 10% of the total bail amount. This is a standard rate regulated by the state.
Is the calculator amount what I’ll actually pay?
Yes — the calculator gives you a reliable estimate of what you’ll owe to a bail bond agent based on a standard 10% fee. Some clients may qualify for payment plans or reduced upfront costs.
Is the bail bond fee refundable?
No — the bail bond fee is a service charge paid to the bondsman for taking the financial risk of posting bail. It is non-refundable even if charges are dropped or the case is dismissed.
Can I make payments on the bail bond fee?
Yes. At Cowboy Bail Bonds, we offer flexible payment options based on your situation. Contact us for more details about our payment plans.
What happens if the defendant misses court?
If the person released on bail fails to appear in court, the full bail amount becomes due. The co-signer may lose any collateral, and the bail agency may pursue legal recovery options or send a bounty hunter.
