Frequently Asked Questions

A bail bond is a financial agreement made on behalf of a defendant to ensure they appear in court. If the defendant can’t afford to pay the full bail amount, a licensed bail bondsman posts the bail for a fee—usually 10% of the total amount.

In Missouri, the standard fee is 10% of the total bail amount. For example, if the bail is $10,000, the fee would be $1,000. This fee is non-refundable and is the only amount owed, as long as the defendant appears in court.

If you go through a bail bondsman, the 10% premium is the cost of the service and is non-refundable. If you pay the full bail amount directly to the court yourself, you may get that money back after the case concludes—provided all court appearances are made.
