What Is A Bail Bond & How Do They Work in St Lucie County?
In St Lucie County, a judge sets a bail amount for an inmate (called the defendant). If the defendant can’t pay the amount on their own, they can ask for help from a bail bondsman. That’s where we come in. We handle the Bail Bond for you. To post a Bail Bond, the defendant is required to pay 10% of the bail amount. This is Florida law. You won’t pay more or less than this. For example, a bond set at $5,000 would require a $500 bail amount be paid by the defendant. Some bail bonds companies will tell you they can offer cheaper bail. If they tell you this, it is a lie. All Florida bail bonds companies are legally required to charge 10% of the bail amount, no more or no less. Call us for help! We are open 24 hours a day, holidays included.
