After an arrest, a magistrate or judge sets a bail amount. Bail is a financial guarantee that the defendant will appear for court.

If you can’t afford the full bail amount, a licensed bail bondsman posts the bond for a non-refundable premium (typically 15%), allowing the defendant to be released while their case moves forward.

In North Carolina, bail bond premiums are regulated by the NC Department of Insurance.
The standard premium is 15% of the total bond amount.

There are no hidden fees. Any payment arrangements are discussed clearly before paperwork is signed.

Yes. In many cases, we can work with structured payment arrangements depending on the situation, bond amount, and court requirements.

We expect clients to honor agreed-upon payment plans, but if something changes, communication is key—reach out to your agent as soon as possible.

Once paperwork and payment are completed, release time depends on:

• The jail facility

• Time of day

• Court or magistrate processing

We move as fast as the system allows and stay in contact throughout the process.

Typically:

• A valid photo ID

• Basic information about the defendant

• Payment for the bond premium

• In some cases, collateral (depending on bond size and risk)

Your agent will walk you through exactly what’s needed for your situatio

Collateral is something of value (property, vehicle title, etc.) used to secure a bond in higher-risk cases.
Not all bonds require collateral, and if it is used, it is returned once the case is complete, assuming all court obligations are met.

Missing a court date can lead to:

• A bond forfeiture

• Additional charges

• Arrest warrants

If a court date is missed, contact your bail agent immediately. The sooner we know, the more options may be available.

Yes. We emphasize court-date awareness and provide guidance, but the responsibility to appear always rests with the defendant.

We also offer tools and reminders to help clients stay on track.

Absolutely. All agents working through 828 Bail Bonds are licensed and regulated by the North Carolina Department of Insurance.
