So many people want to know if they\u2019ll receive their money back after a trial or case has closed, or when a defendant completes probation. The quick answer is that bail bonds are not refundable, ever.

It is always best to consult a licensed bail bondsman directly for accurate and updated answers to questions about bail. No matter what ends up happening in court, a defendant cannot get a refund for bail bond services. And all bail bond agencies will inform clients upfront that there are no refunds for their services. <\/p>\n<p>The reason bail bonds are not refundable has to do with liability. A bail bond company is assuming all responsibility for a client, in terms of bond amount and initial court appearances. If a person fails to appear for their initial scheduled court date following their arrest, the bail bond company that provided their services will have to forfeit all of the money they \u201cput up\u201d for the defendant\u2019s release from jail. <\/p>\n<p>So if a person\u2019s bond is set at $10,000, they can either pay that money in-whole to the jail to be released, OR, they can purchase a bail bond for 10-15% of that amount (Ten to fifteen percent is the standard Indiana rate for bail bonds). That 10 to 15% is non-refundable because if the defendant misses or skips their court hearing, the bail bond company does not get back the $10,000 THEY paid to have their client released from jail. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hamilton County Bail Bonds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_386\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bailbondshamiltoncounty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hamilton-County-Bail-Bonds-Indiana-Copy-e1530201038128.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bailbondshamiltoncounty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hamilton-County-Bail-Bonds-Indiana-Copy-e1530201038128-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Boone County Bail Bonds 317-919-2489\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bailbondshamiltoncounty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hamilton-County-Bail-Bonds-Indiana-Copy-e1530201038128-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bailbondshamiltoncounty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hamilton-County-Bail-Bonds-Indiana-Copy-e1530201038128-768x616.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bailbondshamiltoncounty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hamilton-County-Bail-Bonds-Indiana-Copy-e1530201038128-1024x821.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bailbondshamiltoncounty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Hamilton-County-Bail-Bonds-Indiana-Copy-e1530201038128.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boone County Bail Bonds 317-919-2489<\/p><\/div><strong>Call Uptown Bail Bonds at 317-919-2489<\/strong> for prompt and professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bailbondshamiltoncounty.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bail bonds in Hamilton County<\/a>, Indiana.
