State and Federal Bail Bonds
State Bonds
Surety bonds, also known as state bonds, are one of the most common types of bonds. State bonds are governed by Florida regulations and stipulates that the bondsman will be paid 10%. The bondsman then provides the remainder of the bond to the court. This is the law. There is NEVER an instance where a bondsman can offer you a deal or charge more than the stipulated 10%. The only exception to this 10% rule is when bail is set under $1,000. Regardless of the amount below $1,000 the cost is $100 and not 10%. Since the law is specific the only difference that separates the multitude of bail bonds companies is the service you will be provided.
Federal Bail Bonds
A Federal bond is often higher than a state bond with a premium rate of 15% in Florida. Federal bail bonds are executed when the alleged crime is of a federal nature or involves interstate criminal activity. This includes crimes that cross state lines, or any crime investigated by a federal agency like the FBI, or involves the Post Office, IRS or Immigration Services. Examples of this would be tax evasion, drug trafficking, fraud, and kidnapping as well as any crime that takes place on federal property.
Are there any benefits to obtaining a bail bond from a professional bondsman instead of using cash to secure release?
While it may seem simple to use cash to post bail for a friend or loved one, sometimes the bail amount can be prohibitively high, leaving you without access to those funds until the trial concludes. However, by obtaining a bail bond, you can rely on the assistance of a knowledgeable bondsman at any time of the day and receive the necessary bail amount.
